Ski & Sail Steigen
Steigen is the lesser known mainland side of the Lofoten peninsula. This place is a rugged, off-grid skiing gem waiting to be discovered.
Join our aluminium expedition vessel “Moondance” on a week-long adventure of epic proportions.
We provide the best and fully certified UIAGM/IFMGA mountain guides.
Your safety is our top priority.
Where is it?
Steigen is situated in the northern part of Norway, in the county of Nordland. The area is one of the lesser inhabited parts of the Norwegian coast, and infrastructure is not much developed. The closest airport is Bodø, from where you will be transported to the vessel. From there on, the vessel and nature is all you will see for the week ahead.
Not to be missed!
How does it work?
During the week, the vessel “Moondance” is both your home and your means of transport. The vessel has a small dinghy boat for additional transport.
Onboard “Moondance” you will have your own bed with storage for your personal belongings. Asides from other participants, there are mainly two people from Ski & Sail Norway you will have to relate to - the skipper and the mountain guide.
While onboard, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure your safety, but also your comfort. The skipper’s focus is serving you the best experience of Steigen from an ocean perspective, but also to make sure you are fed tasty, healthy meals after long days in the mountain.
In the mountain, it is the mountain guide you need to relate to. Our mountain guides are fully certified with long experience, local knowledge, and your safety is looked after by the best in the field. It is expected that you listen to and respect the mountain guide’s decision-making.
Arrival and departure happen during the weekend, and our programme involves 5 full ski touring days. You are of course free to have resting days onboard “Moondance”, where the skipper will take good care of you. The mountain guide will still plan for ski touring every day, with the exception of extreme weather conditions.
Alpine skiing involves considerable risk. Make sure you have read our terms and conditions thoroughly before considering a trip with us.
