For adventurous skiers and splitboarders chasing rugged terrain and glacier-to-sea descents, this is your ticket into Norway’s wild north. Our small group size keeps each journey personal, so it’s best to book early.
Tucked deep in Norway’s Loppa region is one of Europe’s most remote ski touring destinations, where soaring peaks drop into open fjords and skiers are few and far between. With IFMGA-certified guides, you’ll climb couloirs, trace ridgelines and ride untouched slopes. This isn’t just a ski trip; it’s an Arctic expedition on your own terms.
Skin up and ride down wild slopes far from the crowds, with routes adjusted to your skill.
Drop into untouched terrain and deep snow straight from camp, depending on the weather.
Immerse yourself in the stillness of the far north—vast, rugged and rarely seen by others.
Stay in the moment while a pro photographer captures the adventure, with a curated photo gallery to keep.
Experience Arctic living at a fully equipped Advanced Base Camp high in the mountains, if the weather’s on our side.
Get a taste of local cuisine: fresh seafood, hearty stews and traditional Arctic barbecue.
Travel with the best: an IFMGA-certified guide who knows the terrain inside and out, balancing safety with deep local insight.
Our trips are immersive and hands-on, created to help you connect with nature and push your boundaries. Feel free to move at your own pace, but prepare for an active outdoor experience.
You’ll skin up glacial peaks and ride down rugged, open mountains—in places most never reach. This trip is best suited for agile, experienced skiers and splitboarders who are looking for a challenge and feel at home in the wild.
Average day: We’ll ascend and descend around 1,000-1,500 vertical meters (3,280-4,921 feet), spending four to six hours on the mountain. Our two expert guides will tailor each route to match group experience and conditions.
Challenge day: If the snow, weather and group align, we’ll take on steeper, longer routes—spending six to eight hours in the wild. It’s not tied to a fixed day but always on the radar.

Midway through our trip, depending on weather conditions, we may move deeper into the mountains to a fully equipped Advanced Base Camp, sleeping in expedition-grade tents and living off-grid without heating, showers or toilets.

After your arrival, we’ll drive about a 2.5 hours, incl. a short ferry ride (depending on the snow conditions) to Nuvsvåg, where our cosy cabin cluster awaits. Once settled, we’ll share drinks and a welcome dinner to kick off our trip.
We’ll set out from the cabin site to explore nearby slopes, easing into the raw terrain and getting comfortable with our equipment. This helps you find your rhythm on the snow and with the group before bigger adventures ahead.
We venture further into the heart of Loppa, spending the day on pristine slopes and open ridgelines. If the weather allows, we move from the lodge to an advanced base camp for the night, enjoying dinner by the campfire and deepening the sense of adventure.
Setting out from the base camp, we tour the surrounding terrain, taking in new perspectives of Loppa’s remote wilderness, before returning to the cabin site again for the evening.
Two more days are spent skiing from the cabin site, venturing across remote peaks, glaciers, and open ridges.
For our final full day, we’ll either ski from camp or return to the cabin site—with your guides choosing the best terrain based on snow and weather. Whether it’s one last climb or a mellow cruise through the powder, the day will be about soaking in the landscape and celebrating your summits. In the evening, we’ll gather for a festive farewell dinner and toast to new tracks in the wild.
After breakfast, we’ll depart from Nuvsvåg. We will transport you to the Alta Airport, with plenty of time to catch early afternoon flights.
