SKI & SAIL - SVALBARD

Backcountry Skiing

What you'll do

Sail through the fjords of Svalbard and ski some of the most remote Arctic peaks. Each day, you’ll climb untouched mountains rising straight from the sea and enjoy long descents back to the shore. Life on board is simple and adventurous: sleeping in shared cabins, eating together, and moving with the wind to find the best skiing. Between ascents, you’ll spot glaciers, wildlife, and the raw beauty of the High Arctic before returning to Longyearbyen with unforgettable memories.

Guides

Emil & SeilNorge Team

Emil is a skipper, founder of SeilNorge, the country’s leading organizer of inspiring sailing, hiking, ski-touring, climbing trips and expeditions. We sail between islands, fjords, mountains, and the open oceans to see, experience, and learn. In addition to the skipper, you will be accompanied by a local trekking expert, not a certified guide. Norway legislation doesn't make mandatory having a certified guide for hiking trips mandatory.
