Ski tour Finnmark with mountain guide:in

• Programme and itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arrival in Alta

    We fly to Alta, in the far north of Norway. There we pick up our hire cars and start our journey through the vast, Nordic landscape. On the way, our gaze glides over rolling hills, frozen lakes and snow-covered fjords until we finally reach our special destination: our accommodation on the Nuvsfjord.

    Our home for the next few days is right by the sea - in a location that could hardly be more peaceful and impressive. The gentle sound of the waves, the crunching of the snow under our shoes and the play of light over the fjord create an atmosphere of deep tranquillity and Nordic wildness. Here, we can immediately feel how everyday life takes its leave and makes way for adventure, nature and genuine deceleration.

  • Day 2-7 - Ski tours in Finnmark

    600-1200m

    On seven days of skiing we explore various areas and peaks around Stjernsundet, the Altafjord and of course the Nuvsfjord and the neighbouring fjords.

    Experience an unforgettable ski tour where we often start right by the sea. From there, we ascend between 600 and 1,200 metres in altitude and enjoy an impressive variety of terrain - from wide, gentle slopes to sporty gullies and couloirs.

    Even when the weather is changeable, the options remain varied: we can head to lower altitudes with enchanting birch forests and undertake equally beautiful tours there. Those looking for something special can also look forward to ski tours by boat - a unique combination of sea and mountains, which we are happy to organise as required.

    In addition to the sporting highlights, we immerse ourselves in the local culture. Whether meeting local people or discovering regional specialities - we experience the country with all our senses. And even on days when the weather doesn't play ball, there is plenty to discover and do.

  • Day 8

    We say goodbye to our home of the last few days and enjoy the special atmosphere of Nuvsfjord one last time. We then travel in the direction of Alta.

    On the way, we go on another impressive ski tour and take in the white expanse of the Nordic landscape. In the afternoon we move into our cosy rooms in Alta, the lively centre of Finnmark. The town is picturesquely situated on the Altafjord and is known for its spectacular Northern Lights, its exciting Sami culture and the famous rock carvings, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    In the evening, we enjoy a fine meal together in a selected restaurant and review the experiences of the past few days. Perhaps the first ideas for our next adventure in the coming year will emerge - the perfect opportunity to make new plans and round off the trip in style.

  • Day 9 - Return journey

    After a final breakfast together, we hand over our hire vehicles and set off on our journey home with many wonderful memories in our luggage.
