Skiing in Norway: Ski and sailing holiday in the heart of the fjords in the Bodø Alps
Let yourself be captivated by the magic of this still-secret and protected region of Norway , located north of the Arctic Circle, near the Lofoten archipelago. Our extensive knowledge of skiing and sailing, as well as that of our skippers, allows us to take you everywhere in the best possible safety conditions. Whether aboard the sailboat or from the mountain ridges, you will experience daily the sensations of escape and freedom unique to the sea and ski touring . You will navigate the magnificent scenery of steep fjords plunging into the crystal-clear waters of Norwegian bays.
This ski touring trip in the Bodø Alps takes place aboard one or two large expedition sailboats. These comfortable and fully equipped boats can
Accommodating 12 passengers, these boats can be sailed together or separately, according to your needs and preferences. They travel at their own pace, approximately 7 knots per hour (about 15 km/h). Their size allows for an immersive experience close to nature and gives you access to all the mountain peaks, departing directly from the coastline.
The number of ski touring routes in the Bodø Alps is endless. Each day, we plan the itinerary together, taking into account sailing and snow conditions. We also adapt to your preferences and the group's skiing ability. Most of the touring routes are traverses rather than loops, with average elevation gains of 600 to 1000 meters. This is what makes this ski-sailing trip in Norway so unique.
Our suggested itineraries for this ski and sailing trip in the Bodø Alps:
(Depending on navigation and snow conditions)
Ski tours can start in the hamlet of Straumsnes, cross remarkable birch forests and climb up the valley to the summit of Sjunktinden (1071 m) where the panorama over the Lofoten archipelago is exceptional before returning on board the sailboat in the late afternoon via Einarvikelva beach.
We can also link the two iconic peaks of Sørfolda: Bjørnsvik (952 m) and Kråktinden (871 m). After a pleasant initial climb to Bjørnsvik and a descent to the lake, we ascend Kråktinden before returning to the boat waiting for us in Sagfjorden Bay.
