About your trip

For intermediate skiers and boarders in search of mellow terrain with sweeping sea views and experts who crave steep lines, remote peaks, and the thrill of the unknown—this is your way in. Our small group size keeps each journey personal, so it’s best to book early.


Explore one of Europe’s last true frontiers on a week-long high-alpine ski tour—your chance to carve fresh tracks on untouched slopes few have seen. Set against sweeping fjords, sculpted peaks and soft Arctic light, you’ll roam across secluded, snow-covered terrain, where solitude and legendary descents await. Expect to ascend scenic summits, and if you’re up for it, drop into deep couloirs and traverse ridgelines high above the sea. Led by IFMGA-certified guides, this is Arctic ski touring at its purest: raw, remote and entirely your own.

Highlights Include

  • Tour untouched, uncrowded terrain in one of Europe’s wildest regions.

  • Summit glaciated peaks and ride a mix of terrain—from mellow bowls to challenging couloirs—carefully chosen each day to match conditions and group flow. 

  • Journey by boat into remote fjords, where towering glaciers and icy waters shape the landscape.

  • Immerse yourself in the rhythm of life above the Arctic Circle, where skiing and nature are deeply intertwined with the local culture.

  • Dine on hearty meals made with fresh, local ingredients

  • Recharge in your cosy cabin site with a sauna on location and stunning views of the rugged north around you.

  • Travel with the best: Certified guides who know the region inside and out, balancing safety with deep local insight.

Activity Levels

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 move through Arctic fjords and over steep mountain peaks, ascending on foot and descending along sea-facing slopes. This adventure is made for experienced skiers or splitboarders eager to leave crowds behind and explore far beyond the beaten path.

  • Average day: We’ll ascend and descend around 1,000 vertical meters (3,280 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. It’s not tied to a fixed day, but always on the radar.

Climate

This trip takes you through Finnmarks remote wilds, with routes adapted daily by our certified guides. Weather shapes the journey, so each day’s plan stays flexible. Our priority is to ensure safe, fresh tracks and an authentic Arctic ski experience.

  • Weather: Daytime highs range from -5°C to 0°C (23 to 32°F), with nighttime lows from -10°C to -15°C (14°F to 5°F). Inland and mountainous areas may see colder nights, but daylight extends to about 12 hours daily, giving you more time to explore.

  • Snow & Conditions: March brings longer days and mid-winter snowpack, offering reliable coverage from summit to sea. Shadier aspects hold cold, dry powder, while south-facing slopes soften in the sun as the seasons transition from winter to early spring.

Classic ski days in legendary Finnmark

With decades of experience in this wild terrain, your guides will shape each day based on snowpack, weather and group energy. One day might take you deep into powder-filled glades, the next to a silent ridgeline with ocean views. These are routes few ever reach—remote and condition-dependent but always worth the effort.


Back at the lodge, the rhythm will slow: recover in a wood-fired sauna, refuel with chef-made meals and reflect on the day’s descent.

Day 7 (May 10)
