Long ski trips are part of Norwegian history. Names like Nansen and Amundsen have inspired generations of Norwegians and the rest of the world to go on adventures with skis on their feet. We have organized ski expeditions since 1997 and here is an overview of which long ski trips we have in our tour calendar now.
The feeling of skiing day after day, preferably with the sled in tow and the tent on top, has for many become a haven where the phone doesn't ring, the email doesn't arrive and the head is allowed to rest. It is good to feel the physical effort and the calm pace. Our ski trips and expeditions are more popular than ever, so here you will find an overview of what we offer. If you are someone who dreams of white expanses and the crackle of snow under your skis- see all our ski tours to find the one that suits you. Check out our collection page.

Ski Expedition in Northern Norway - Crossing Finnmarksvidda
It is wild and exotic in Finnmark, and the ski trip across the platteau is a great test if you dream of a polar expedition one day. At Finnmarksvidda you get a taste of endless expanses, cold and long days out skiing. Our tour starts in Alta, where we are transported to Øvre Stilla (30 km), which is the starting point for the ski tour. From here, the route follows the old winter road over the mountain. We will stay in three pleasant mountain cabins which are spread out in appropriate day stages across the platteau. When the ski trip is finished, we are transported from Assebakti and back to the airport in Alta. Read more about Ski Expedition in Northern Norway - Crossing Finnmarksvidda.
Crossing Norway Ski Expedition
Do you want to see some of the most beautiful things Norway has to offer and feel the sense of expedition life with a tent and sled? Then this is the tour for you! 120 km in 7 days. The route runs along the official "Norway across" traverse or "Tvers" in Norwegian. Were at 63º North in Trøndelag, from the Swedish border to Trondheimsfjord. We follow marked winter routes for large parts of the trip, but also go on unmarked terrain for some stages. We walk in weather-exposed high mountains, scattered birch forests and warm conifer forests. Youll never get bored with how diverse the terrain becomes. Parts of the tour go along the fantastic mountain massif Sylan, which is located right near the Swedish border. This is a trip that goes under the radar for many, and is one of the true adventures to say youve crossed all of Norway. It is no different from more well-known trips such as Finnmarksvidda on skis or Svalbard on cross country. Read more about Crossing Norway Ski Expedition.
Crossing Svalbard
For many, crossing Spitsbergen will be the ultimate way to experience the magnificent nature of Svalbard, as well as being an introduction to expedition life in the Arctic. With ice-covered fjords, snow-covered mountains and exciting wildlife, this is a fantastic trip that simply has to be experienced. We set up day stages between 20 and 30 kilometers and set up camp every evening. Most of the day is spent skiing, but we have a leisurely pace and take breaks along the way. We plan the route in relation to the weather, and the path of least resistance guides us - we want to get the best out of the trip, and the route can be adjusted several times along the way.

Ski Expedition experience at Svalbard - Nordenskiold with skis and pulk
We test expedition life in the Arctic and explore Nordenskioldland with skis and sleds. An experience of a lifetime! In contrast to both Svalbard across, as in East to West (or Tvers in Norwegian" and Svalbard along, as in Norrth to South (På langs in Norwegian), this is an easier trip that can be a good gateway towards such trips in arctic regions. The ski tour starts a short mile outside Longyearbyen, and after a short bus ride we can strap on our skis and sleds and start the journey towards the scooter-free glacier massif between Adventdalen and Reindalen, two of the largest valleys in Svalbard. Here we find the highest peaks in Nordenskioldland with nunataks encircling the glacier. We set up day stages between 8 and 21 kilometres, and establish a new camp every evening. After a week on tour, we end up in Adventdalen again, where we are transported back to Longyearbyen. Contact us for more information about this trip.
Crossing Svalbard South to North
Svalbard along (North to South) is a skiing expedition that deserves respect. The fact that this is without a doubt one of the hardest skiing expeditions you can do makes it an achievement to complete this trip. It will be hard, but the reward is great. The nature on Svalbard is unique and magnificent, and for 30 days we live close to nature and each other with tents as housing and skis as means of transportation. This is a trip you will never forget, and truly will change your life. Read more about Crossing Svalbard South to North.
