Ways to Experience

Explore our range of expert-crafted journeys

We Provide the Access. You Set the Course.

For those who wish to experience the extraordinary, we provide the framework to make that possible. Our small-group trips are designed for experienced adventurers who want access to remote terrain, reliable logistics, and the freedom to define their own objectives, whether that means untracked lines, isolated fjords, or the corners of the map few reach.

On this page, you will find the range of trip formats we enable, each created for those who seek challenges shaped by conditions, not curation.

Where Mountains Meet the Sea

Ski & Sail

Ski & Sail combines world-class backcountry skiing with the freedom of life at sea. From an expedition sailboat, you will access remote peaks in Finnmark and Svalbard, skiing lines that drop straight to the shoreline. Led by IFMGA-certified guides and supported by seasoned Arctic crews, each day pairs demanding ascents and rewarding descents with the rhythm of sailing through untouched fjords. An experience reserved for those who seek challenge far beyond the ordinary.

Beyond the Lifts, Into Untouched Wilderness

Ski Touring

Ski touring is your gateway to remote peaks and serious terrain, well beyond the reach of the crowds. Each day brings the rhythm of skinning, climbing, and dropping into untouched lines, where effort is rewarded with powder turns and the solitude of high mountains. From hut-to-hut traverses to lodge-based missions, guided expeditions in Finnmark, Svalbard, and beyond deliver both demanding objectives and the unmatched satisfaction of earning every descent.
