Trail and Sail

Norrøna x SALTY Trailrunning adventure

From USD 3639
- Reviews

Combine running and sailing on Senja's rugged coast. This unique trip uses Norrøna's own sailboat Varg to bypass roads and reach premium mountain trails. Our flexible itinerary adapts to conditions, ensuring the perfect balance between the challenge of trail running and the tranquility of a fjord-side anchorage. This is your chance to explore Senja's peaks and discover its remote beauty.

Norrøna Varg S/Y, which in 2026 was recognized as one of TIME's Greatest Places to visit, will serve as your accommodation, restaurant, and means of transportation. Hosting 3 guest cabins with room for 6 guests in total, it offers plenty of comfort for an adventure of this kind. From ensuite bathrooms with shower for each cabin, wood fired sauna and hot tub on deck, to a 3-course Arctic Fusion dinner concept and a lounge area with a fire place and large rooftop window.

This trip is a Norrøna x SALTY Trailrunning adventure and the guide for this trip is our own Norrøna Ambassador and Co-Founder of SALTY Trailrunning Stefan Ehrmeier.

No prior sailing experience is needed, as the crew will handle all onboard operations and logistics. However, if you’d like to get involved and lend a hand, they’ll be more than delighted to have your assistance!

Highlights

  • Run the trails to spectacular peaks starting from quiet trailheads.
  • Reach remote trailheads and mountain paths 
  • Indulge in freshly prepared meals made with local ingredients
  • Recover with a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear Arctic waters
  • Enjoy quiet nights embraced by the beauty of Senja’s coastal wilderness.

A sailboat with a large black sail navigates calm seas under a cloudy sky, with distant mountains on the horizon.

Day 1:Arrival and afternoon run

After an introduction to life aboard and a safety briefing we set sail whilst we prepare for our first afternoon trail run to stretch our legs after a day of travelling. When we return to the boat we will enjoy a three-course dinner served by the crew and talk about the plan for the next couple of days.

Day 2-3:Running days!

For the next two days it is all about running some epic trails with breathtaking views. The morning starts with breakfast onboard whilst we decide on the itinerary for the day. We will take weather and conditions into consideration when planning the routes. We have some different options to choose between; a morning session and an afternoon session or one long run. Senja offers a huge variety of trails and we are sure to get an experience of a lifetime. There will also be time for a technique session. After the runs we will return to the boat for “after-run” with a sauna and our woodfired bathtub in the evening. Dinner is served onboard each evening. As the days are long and bright in the north of Norway we also have the option of going for an evening run to enjoy the midnight sun.

Packing Tips

While Varg offers plenty of comfort for an adventure of this kind, it’s important to remember that at 62 feet, it is still a sailboat with limited space so keep in mind how and what you pack. It's advisable to limit your luggage to one bag for clothes and gear, and one daypack for excursions. We recommend a duffel bag, as this is easier to handle than a rolling suitcase. Your daypack should have enough space for clothing, food and drinks.

Bed linens and towels will be provided on the boat. 

Fishing equipment is available on the boat if you wish to try your luck at fishing.
