Ski & Sail across Finnmark

Group size: Min 6, Max 8 | 8 days, 7 nights | €6,695 pp

From Sea to Summit at the Edge of Norway

Welcome aboard Skydancer. After years of Ski & Sail expeditions across the Arctic—from Lofoten to Svalbard and Greenland—the Skydancer team now operates in Finnmark. Together with KMX guides, whose background is built on nearly 20 years of ski touring and guiding this area, this brings access to one of Norway’s least crowded touring places.

Each day starts at sea level, moving from boat to mountain and back again. In a compact fjord landscape, new terrain is reached daily, from open slopes to more technical lines. Plans are shaped by weather, snow conditions, and the group, with a steady focus on safe, efficient movement in the mountains.

I would rate this as a 10 out of 10 experience! I had high expectations but the trip was even better. Amazing people that felt like home for a week, trustworthy guides and unreal landscapes for skiing and sailing. Very wholesome experience.
