Summer skiing
Sun and slopes!
Do Norwegians ever stop skiing?
S-no-w way!
The snow never melts on the highest mountains and icy glaciers of Norway. You can even hit the slopes in the summer.
Here are the best places!
Summer ski resorts
When the winter resorts are closing, other ski resorts start opening – the ones that specialize in summer skiing!
Enjoy alpine skiing at the Tystigbreen glacier at Stryn Sommerski summer ski centre. It offers park riding too, if you're into jumps, rails and half pipes!
And if you fall ...
... you won't be the first! 🥶
NOTE: Stay away from the blue lagoons if you're not a pro.
The summer skiing season starts in late May or early June and can last until August – depending on the snow conditions.
The snow reflects the sunlight, so remember to use enough sun screen!
Further east, at an altitude of 1,800 meters, you can launch yourself downhill at Norway's highest mountain at the Galdhøpiggen summer ski centre.
If you prefer cross country skiing, the Sognefjellet summer ski centre offers a total of 8 kilometresof groomed trails.
Head to the north!
Svalbard in the early summer is ideal for a guided expedition! Join a cross-country tour on the glaciers and in the valleys, when Svalbard bathes in the rays of the midnight sun.
You can also sign up for a ski touring trip to the alpine peaks.
Always go with professional and local tour operators as they understand the weather conditions, avalanche risk, ice conditions, and risks related to polar bears when travelling into the vast wilderness of Svalbard.
Don't stop skiing
Ski all year round at the indoor winter sports hall SNØ just outside Oslo.
No snow?
Roller skis are amazing for going cross-country skiing all over Norway in the summer! Get a great workout and maintain your skiing skills for the winter season.
Grab your skis and hit the slopes!

BykleRoller ski tracks at the Hovden cross-country arena
The Hovden cross-country arena is located near the centre of Hovden. During the winter, this is a sports facility with daily groomed cross-country tracks for skiers at all levels. In the autumn of 2016 a part of the cross-country arena was adapted for roller skiing. This is the section called Røyrvikåsen. The tracks are floodlit and range from those suitable for children and beginners to the more challenging ones for elite skiers. We request you to exercise caution when using the roller ski tracks. Consider the safety of yourself and others. The direction is counterclockwise, i.e. to the right from the car park / starting point. The track surface is marked with arrows indicating direction and level of difficulty. If you have not brought your own equipment, you may rent roller skis, boots and poles at Hovden Sport in the centre of Hovden.
