The best ski lines in northern Norway don’t end in a parking lot—they drop all the way to the sea. For 6 days, we’ll live aboard a historic expedition sailboat, navigating the fjords between Alta and Tromsø while chasing peaks rising up to 4,900 feet. We’ll shred steep couloirs and untracked snow, and maybe even share a line with some curious reindeer! Each evening, we’ll gather for a hearty meal on deck and watch for puffins, sea eagles, and arctic foxes while we drift towards our next target. In this untouched Arctic wilderness, every descent feels like the highlight of the trip—until the next one tops it.
Best skiing of my life! Awesome people, fantastic guides, and superb choice of terrain, and let us not forget all that delicious food. I will come back for more!
Excellent guiding, planning, hospitality and safe skiing. we are repeat customers now!

Add-ons
Not included:
You’ll need great fitness and intermediate skiing experience to enjoy this Norway fjords ski holiday. You’ll climb and descend up to 1,500 m / 4,920 ft daily, often through variable snow conditions and across glaciated terrain, with peaks ranging from 700 to 1,200 m / 2,300 to 3,940 ft above sea level.
To successfully tackle each day, you should feel comfortable on Black Diamond slopes, even if you take your time to navigate them. However, the terrain may include advanced pitches, steeper tree runs, and rugged alpine sections.
Snow conditions will vary widely—from icy stretches and deep powder to hard-packed or wind-affected surfaces. If you’re confident skiing in these diverse conditions and have the endurance for challenging climbs, you’ll be well-prepared for this unique ski adventure in the fjords.
