Set off on a skiing and sailing adventure through the breathtaking Norwegian fjords! We’ll carve through some of Norway’s best lines over 6 skiing days with expert mountain guides. Our home for the week will be the spacious Noorderlicht sailboat, where we’ll sleep in comfortable cabins, enjoy a full board, and unwind with coffee and tea. With convenient Zodiac transfers, we’ll easily reach the most stunning ski spots. Pack your skis and get ready for the journey of a lifetime!
If you’d like to fully embrace the fjords, opt for this 8-day option. You’ll get two extra days to explore the slopes and relax aboard the sailboat.
We meet at the pier in Alta harbor at 4pm to board the Noorderlicht, our home for the week. After settling in, we’ll share a welcome drink with the Captain and crew, who will share important safety information and trip logistics. We’ll set sail into the breathtaking fjords and enjoy a multi-course dinner on board, sharing our excitement for the adventures ahead.
Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Noorderlicht sailboat
Each day begins with a hearty breakfast to fuel us for our adventures ahead. We will navigate the maze of islands and fjords between Alta and Tromsø, using the ship’s mobility to chase the best snow and weather. The Lyngen Alps and surrounding ranges offer everything from mellow glacier runs to steep chutes—most dropping right to the sea! From the boat, we’ll skin up routes that would take days to access by land. After a day on the slopes, we’ll return to our boat for dinner to share our experiences and plan for the next day’s exploration.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Accommodation: Noorderlicht sailboat
On our final morning, we will disembark in Tromsø in time for everyone to make their flights. We’ll take a moment to soak in the stunning fjords one last time before heading to the airport.

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.
