Norway’s mountains, glaciers and deep coastal fjords make it one of the most exciting places to ski on the planet, boasting a mixture of delightful in-land resorts and staggeringly beautiful coastal ski tours. Mabey Ski offers a range of sail and ski touring trips in Norway that take you into the Lyngen Alps and Lofoten Islands for unforgettable backcountry skiing.
Why choose ski touring in Norway?
Ski touring in Norway opens up countless mountains where solitude, panoramic views and untouched powder await, not to mention the chance to witness the magical Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
With Mabey Ski, you can take a Norway sail and ski trip through the Lyngen fjords or across the Lofoten archipelago before being dropped off to ski backcountry routes that stretch into plunging blue fjords below. Or stay in a wonderful lodge on the water’s edge, summiting the surrounding peaks by day and enjoying delicious dinners and cosy fires each evening.
Whether it’s summer glacier skiing overlooking fjords or boat-based ski touring from summit to sea above the Arctic Circle, skiing in Norway is the perfect adventure for skiers looking to escape it all.
Why choose ski touring in Norway?
Norway’s ski touring season usually runs from mid February until the end of May.
The timing of Norway’s ski season varies by region and local climate. Mabey Ski’s touring adventures are based in Northern Norway and, while snow falls earlier in this region, the months of November and December have limited daylight hours. So, the best period for off-piste skiing and ski touring in Northern Norway usually spans from February through May.
