Ski touring in Norway gives you room to move. There are no boundaries to restrict your powder hunting and no map or lift system to dictate your day’s riding. It’s a beautiful and unique feeling ski touring in backcountry terrain. And Norway sits above most destinations at the world’s best for it. Nothing says freedom like Norwegian backcountry, with this world-class location offering incredible cross-country terrain and off-piste riding. No wonder advanced and pro riders from across the globe regularly flock to Norway get their backcountry fix.
While resort skiing forces powder hounds to hunt for their prey (i.e. deep powder), ski touring is predominantly done atop virgin snow (i.e. no hunting necessary). This stuff is deep enough to soften landings from the biggest cliff drops and light enough to spray metres high. The Scandinavian Mountains gets its snow from an abundance of moisture from next door's Norwegian Sea. Almost all of its precipitation falls as snow, so visitors are usually spoiled with an abundance of the white stuff during their long seasons.
Designing the perfect ski trip generally starts with checking a destination’s peak season. Or perhaps finding that sweet spot between waning crowds and great conditions. With Norway, you’ll have creative freedom over planning a trip within a huge seasonal window, because Norway’s winters tend to go for a long, long time. The Nordic paradise opens its doors to ski touring visitors from around late October and the slopes remain skiable until April. Smack bang between these months is when the best skiing usually occurs. February to May provides a mixture of long daylight hours and high-quality powder before the mid-year sun drinks the snow.
While Norway commands only a slither of Scandinavia, its high-quality skiing destinations are plentiful. The Lyngen Alps are a quality choice for a first-time Norwegian ski touring trip. The region’s immaculate snow is just as impressive as its incredible landscape and rideable terrain, which is coloured by a range of natural features, couloirs, spines, glaciers and wide-open faces. Lyngen’s proximity to the stunning fjords means precipitation and subsequent snowfall is repeatedly funneled in throughout its long season. Lofoten is the next big name in backcountry skier and snowboarder’s Norwegian hitlist. The place is painted with steep and rugged mountains, and its Atlantic storms brew more than just stunning displays of lightening for onlookers. Precious powder for touring explorers is the norm for Lofoten, which is situated within the mighty Arctic.
