Ski Touring in Lofoten Islands

Norway is one of the most desired destinations for every Ski Touring lover: its fascinating views and the vast range of routes it offers make Norway a fairytale setting.

The snow-capped mountains overlooking the sea, the picturesque "rowers' houses" or rorbuer, typical Norwegian homes, the priceless show of the Northern Lights... create the perfect conditions to tackle every scenic itinerary over the white slopes of Lofoten Islands.

The effort is soon forgotten, the reward comes through the thrilling powder descents and the views, worthy of a postcard.

Experience Norway on skis in the company of a UIAGM Mountain Guide and discover every corner of the Lofoten Islands!
