Nordic Ski Expeditions
An arctic winter ski expedition
Think about it; pitching your own tent while the northern lights are dancing on the sky. Snuggle into your sleeping bag and digest a hot meal prepared on your own stove. Wake up next day to the sound of your coffee being brewed in the tent. Enjoy it in your sleeping bag, before continuing your journey through the Norwegian wilderness.
We are ready to guide you through some of the wildest and most remote areas in Norway. Multi-day ski trips with a tent and your sleeping bag has a long history in Norway. This used to be the way to truly experience the nature, living in it at the coldest time of the year. Everything you do has a crucial importance on your comfort and safety. We have the expertise and knowledge to take you far into the mountains and truly master these skills. This trip is going to teach you a lot about yourself and how to master the winter above the arctic circle. For some this might be the trip they need to gain the extra experience needed to cross Greenland or doing other long expeditions.
Some of our preferred areas are Svalbard, Finnmark or the Norwegian/Swedish border mountains east of Lofoten.
