Norway with mountain skis, skiing in the polar circle

This programme is one of the most attractive ones we can offer. It’s a trip to polar lands with many attractions given the peculiarities of the destination. We can enjoy of the northern lights if we correctly choose the dates, and as a peculiarity of our tours, they’ll start in the sea and also finish in the sea. The fact of skiing in the Norwegian fjords offers us the chance see some landscapes we won’t find in any other place.

After different trips and experiences in this zones, we can offer you an easy programme, with daily departures from the Lodge, with a mountain ambiance and good catering, where we will lodge so we can enjoy the maximum of our journey. We have decided to spent the nights in earth and not in the ship because it’s more comfortable and functional. We can dry our material every day and we are not conditioned to do the ascensions from the beach where the ship docks. Thus, we’ll be able to choose a different ascension every day depending on weather and snow conditions.

We suggest you different ascensions, but we can adapt the trip to your desires and your ski level, focusing it to the corridors and downhill skiing or to less sloping and more comfortable mountains.  This trip offers us so many options that we can repeat it and make different ascensions.

We have an organised trip for those who have never been in Norway with some of the most representative mountains so you can leave with a good taste in your mouth and knowing the place.
