Ski guiding
Trollheimen, Sunndal and Romsdal

Trollheimen, Sunndalsfjella and Romsdal (~3-4hrs from Trondheim) are by any standard world-class for ski touring. They offer an alpine experience on par with any in Norway. Most tours start and end with fantastic fjord views and are some of Norway's longest descents! The areas here include the legendary Romsdal, Eresfjord, Øksendalen & Innerdalen as well as Storlidalen & Todalen, among others.
Bodø & the
Northern Coast

Bodø and the northern coast are spectacular areas for ski touring - easily Norway's version of mainland Lofoten but with less people. A world class destination offering spectacular alpine experiences overlooking the open Norwegian sea or high mountain inland skiing overlooking large glaciers. The season here can be long, and includes areas Glomfjord, Meløy, Gildeskål, Bodø & Beiarn.
Ski & Sail
Sjunkhatten National Park

Sjunkhatten is a wild National Park with spectacular skiing just north of Bodø that is generally only accessible by boat. This experience is a new offer for us in 2022, and due to the logistics, only plan 1-2 trips here a season (April or May). The weather and conditions can be tricky but when its good it may be some of the best in the world. Guaranteed an adventure you will remember!
In addition to the above offers, we can offer custom guiding across Norway,

About Us
Our main services are centered around avalanche courses and guiding. We offer a variety of set courses at all levels covering avalanche awareness, snowpack assessment, and backcountry first aid. Many of our courses, particularly at the beginner level, also incorporate skills in ski technique and the use of a variety of backcountry tools and equipment. All our activities focus on safety, practical skills and spending as much time as possible outside in the backcountry environment. This is where we believe the best learning and the richest experiences are found. We have central operations in Trollheimen/Sunndalsøra in central Norway and Bodø region in northern Norway. However, we do also offer custom experiences in other areas across Norway.
