Welcome to the region that boasts perhaps the world’s most beautiful coastal landscape. Nowhere else, the sea is closer to the mountain summits. You can start skiing almost at the water’s edge while waves crash against the rocky shore.
Lofoten has already established itself as an international destination for ski touring, and it’s about time that neighbouring region Vesterålen gets attention as an incredibly exciting area for skiing adventures.
Ski Touring in Lofoten and Vesterålen describes tours throughout the region, from Moskenes at the outer edge of Lofoten in the west to Andøya in the north. Here, you’ll find Lofoten classics like Ryten, Varden, and Geitgallien, while in Vesterålen, you can be inspired by route descriptions to local favourites like Blåheia, Strandtinden, and Galten, as well as lesser-known destinations like Olnilsatinden and Amarkus. The book offers tours in all categories, from short and relatively easy to longer and more challenging ones.
