Imagine standing on an Arctic peak, admiring the view. Then, you fasten your skis and cruise all the way down to the fjord.
The Narvik region is as an excellent base for alpine ski touring and off-piste skiing. Here, you are surrounded by fjords, islands, deep valleys, pristine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, and mountain plateaus. But first and foremost – wild and rugged mountains in a seemingly endless terrain.
Because of the diverse mountain landscape, the area has close to 100 high-quality ski touring peaks within an hour’s drive from the Narvik city centre. Combined with the varied climate in the region, which makes it easy to find the perfect snow, this has made Narvik an attractive destination to many certified ski touring guides.
From urban skiing at the Narvikfjellet ski resort to the most recognised heli-skiing enterprise in Scandinavia, Narvik is a perfect place for Arctic ski touring.
After a long day in the mountains, the comforts of city life are not far away in the town of Narvik. For places to stay, choose between everything from lodges to proper hotels.
Last but not least: Stay safe and find out about the avalanche risk before you set out. Read more about safety in the mountains here and about local conditions on varsom.no.
