We are incredibly proud to present our trip ski touring Lofoten with Kajsa Larsson!
Kajsa Larsson is a professional freestyle skier who loves spending her days outdoors. For the past ten years, she has inspired through her travels and adventures on social media. With a desire for adventure and a desire to push her body, she has taken on big and small challenges and this summer she cycled the whole of Sweden unsupported on gravel. Her first ever tour trip was just to Lofoten, where she considers it perfect for both beginners and advanced skiers to find skiing with fantastic views.
Lofoten has been awarded the world's most beautiful place several times. We can only agree. To also experience this fantastic place on skis makes it even better.
If you've ever gone on a summit tour in Scandinavia, you might know what a special experience it can be: you and your friends with a whole mountain to yourselves, a magnificent view from the top and no one else who has made tracks in the loose snow on the downhill. You can imagine how special it will be to go on a top tour in one of the world's most beautiful places, with the vast Atlantic surrounding the islands you are on and the pointed peaks standing guard all around you.
The mountains in Lofoten are not very high, only in exceptional cases do they rise more than a thousand meters above sea level. Therefore, the area is suitable for those who want relatively short tours with a lot of content. If you are fit and looking for more altitude meters, the solution is simple: we squeeze in two summit tours on the same day. In addition to many simpler top tours, Lofoten also has a large number of snow chutes and steeper downhill runs for those who want a real challenge.
This trip is part of our new concept of "all women" trips where the participants are girls or non-binary and we have female IFMGA guides.

Travel
You can easily fly directly to Evenes or Svolvær airport and then land directly on Lofoten.
It is also possible to take the nigh train from Stockholm to Narvik. We can also pick you up in Narvik if you come at the time for our transfer:
Transfer
We can pick up those who come by train to Narvik on April 7 at 1:00 p.m. and those who come by plane to Evenes airport at 14:30 and those who come by plane to Svolvaer at 6:30 p.m. If you arrive at other times, you arrange your own transfer to Skårungen.
We can leave those traveling home from Evenes at 17:30 on April 13 and those traveling by air and those who travel train from Narvik at 19:00 at the train station. If you travel at other times so our trafsner does not suit you, you arrange your own transfer. There is no good flights from Svolvaer this day in the afternoon so we recommend to fly home from Evenes. Or take the 13:35 flight (but arrange with your own transfer since we will be skiing this day too).
Accommodation
We live at Skårungen, 3 km outside Kabelvåg. A cozy hotel located right by the fjord with a view of, among other things, Vågkallen. There is an outdoor spa with both a sauna and a hot tub. We live in their super nice Top Row cabins (4 pers per cabin).
