Along the spectacular coast of Northern Norway, dramatic mountains rise straight from the sea, creating some of the world's most breathtaking ski touring terrain. During the week, you'll live aboard a sailing yacht that serves as both your accommodation and your transport between fjords and mountains. A unique combination of sailing, ski touring and unforgettable descents all the way back to the sea!

 

Please note: Bookings are open until 30 September.

 

This trip is also available for private groups. We can tailor both the itinerary and the dates to suit your wishes. Contact us at info@mountainguide.se for more information. 

 

Weekly itinerary

We always strive to provide the best possible experience. Weather, wind and snow conditions may affect the itinerary and the daily schedule.

 

Saturday
Arrival day in Tromsø. The sailing yacht is moored in Tromsø Harbour, easily reached by taxi or the airport shuttle bus. During the afternoon you'll be welcomed aboard by your skipper and settle in together with your mountain guide.

 

Sunday-Friday
The following days are filled with sailing and spectacular ski touring. Depending on the weather, wind and where the yacht is anchored overnight, each day will be slightly different. Some mornings begin with sailing and a relaxed breakfast on deck, while others start directly from a quiet harbour where you can begin skinning straight from the boat.You'll have the opportunity to climb peaks of up to 1,300 metres before skiing all the way back to sea level, where the yacht awaits. Evenings are spent enjoying dinner on board surrounded by mountains and fjords. If you enjoy fishing, you can fish directly from the yacht or take the tender or a SUP for a short excursion.

 

Saturday
Wake up in Tromsø, enjoy breakfast on board and say goodbye after an unforgettable week.
