THE PROGRAM:

Ski Touring in Svalbard by Sailing Boat

Live the Arctic adventure among fjords, snow, and remote peaks

Ski touring in Svalbard by sailing boat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, where untouched nature, sea, and mountains merge into an extreme and fascinating landscape. Just a short step from the North Pole, this Norwegian archipelago offers spectacular descents on polar snow, ascents in remote environments, and the magic of sailing among icy fjords.

With us you will enjoy unforgettable days, skiing almost down to the sea, and spotting Arctic wildlife such as reindeer, seals, and, with some luck, even the polar bear.

Why choose Svalbard for ski touring

  • Ski beyond the Arctic Circle: a rare and authentic adventure.
  • Untouched wilderness: wild mountains and absolute silence.
  • Sailing boat as a mobile base: comfort, logistics, and flexible fjord-to-fjord travel.
  • Ski descents down to the sea: an emotion like no other, merging sea and mountain.
  • Polar atmosphere: Arctic light, midnight sun (in May), and breathtaking landscapes.

Difficulty level

Ski touring in Svalbard is suitable for skiers with experience in ski mountaineering tours and good physical fitness. Extreme technical skills are not required, but you should be used to spending full days skiing in alpine terrain.

If you’re a true lover of Norway, discover also our ski touring trips in the Lofoten Islands and the Lyngen Alps, where sea and snow meet in breathtaking harmony.
