Ski and Sail Lofoten - Seil Norge

About

Access the mountains of Lofoten by sailboat.

Ski, sail, eat, sleep – and wake up somewhere new.

On a Ski & Sail trip with SeilNorge, the sailboat is both our home and our way into the mountains. We sail between the fjords and islands of Lofoten, looking for the best places to go ashore and start the day’s ski tour directly from the water.

Instead of being based in one place for the week, we move with the weather and conditions. The boat gives us the freedom to explore different areas and choose our route along the way. One day we might wake up beneath a mountain we plan to ski; the next morning, we are anchored in another fjord with a completely new view outside.

From sea to summit

The combination of sailing and ski touring gives us access to parts of Lofoten that can be difficult to reach from land. After breakfast on board, we head ashore and put on our skis close to the water’s edge.

Where we ski depends on the snow, weather, wind and the level of the group. Our ski guide and skipper work together to find good options for each day, and the plans can change as the conditions change.

After a day in the mountains, we return to the boat for dinner, time together and a well-earned rest before doing it all again the next day.

Experienced skippers and ski guides

All Ski & Sail trips have an experienced skipper and ski guide on board. The guide plans the ski tours according to the conditions and the group, while the skipper takes care of the sailing and helps us reach the right starting point for the next adventure.

SeilNorge has been arranging Ski & Sail trips along the Norwegian coast for more than ten years, including trips in Lofoten, Lyngen, Finnmark and Svalbard.

Who is Ski & Sail for?

You need previous ski touring experience to join a Ski & Sail trip and must bring your own ski and avalanche equipment.

The trips are arranged for different experience levels. Some departures are better suited to experienced ski tourers looking for longer or more demanding days, while others have a slightly easier pace. On open departures, the guide chooses routes that work for the group and the conditions.

For those who want to experience Lofoten in winter, Ski & Sail combines days in the mountains with life at sea – sailing from fjord to fjord in search of the best skiing.
