KMX: Tarfala Valleys

ski tourers touring through misty and snow covered mountain terrain

Tarfala Valley

Explore Sweden’s Most Dramatic Mountain Region

Tour through the rugged Kebnekaise massif

Step into the heart of Swedish Lapland and discover the Kebnekaise massif, where glaciers carve deep valleys and peaks rise above 2,000 metres. Designed for experienced ski tourers and splitboarders, this small-group expedition combines rugged backcountry terrain, remote cabins, and legendary descents. With IFMGA-certified guides by your side, you’ll climb, skin and ride untouched slopes, moving from one alpine valley to the next. This is more than a ski trip—it’s a full immersion into the wild highlands of Sweden, where every day offers new lines, fresh snow, and unrivalled mountain freedom.
