Explore deep winter 70° above the Arctic Circle
Early-season snow, crisp Arctic air, and rare light set the scene. This trip is designed for experienced skiers and splitboarders keen to get out at the start of the season. In West Finnmark, deep in winter, you will ascend remote peaks, carve untouched high-altitude lines, and ski or ride at night by headlamp, turning darkness into an intense, focused adventure. The slopes are almost deserted at this time of year, with just us and a handful of locals. Small groups ensure a personal experience, and travelling early in the season offers the chance to enjoy this adventure at a more favourable price.
