With travellers already mapping out their 2026 ski escapes, Norway has emerged as one of the world’s trending luxury destinations – ranking third among the “on the rise” hotspots in the 2026 Virtuoso Luxe Report.
As active travel continues to surge, a new ski touring weekend in the Lofoten Islands by high-end Norwegian travel brand Norrøna Adventure is the kind of bucket list experience drawing global attention. For sports travellers seeking pristine slopes, rugged landscapes and authentic Nordic culture, this four-day journey offers a rare chance to ski where mountains meet the sea.
Set for 12-15 March 2026, the experience in northern Norway blends world-class ski touring with the storied charm of Henningsvær, a fishing village known for its colourful houses, artistic heritage and après-ski appeal. Guests stay at the historic Villa Bryggekanten, stepping each morning into a dramatic Arctic landscape guided by expert local professionals who prioritise safety while chasing the best snow. With only 3-6 guests per group, this intimate adventure feels far removed from crowded resorts, allowing travellers to explore one of Norway’s most spectacular sea-to-summit playgrounds.
Starting from US$2,274, the itinerary showcases the raw magic that has made Lofoten a favourite among adventurous skiers – shimmering fjords, untouched terrain and, with a bit of luck, the Northern Lights dancing above the ridgelines. Spring is particularly rewarding: longer daylight hours mean more time carving fresh tracks, more time on breathtaking ascents, and more time soaking in the silent immensity of Arctic nature.
The Lofoten Islands offer a rare combination of dramatic topography and maritime climate. The proximity to the sea creates a unique snowpack, often delivering excellent conditions late into the season. Skiers rise directly from the shoreline into steep alpine bowls – an experience that’s almost impossible to replicate elsewhere.
March brings extended daylight, often up to 12 hours or more, giving ski tourers the luxury of long, unhurried days. For travellers balancing adventure with exploration, spring also means better visibility, comfortable temperatures and higher chances of capturing that perfect photo of skis pointed toward the blue Arctic Ocean.
This new Lofoten journey by Norrøna Adventure joins a curated collection of Norwegian ski expeditions, including:
- Haute Route Jotunheimen: touring through Norway’s most iconic mountain range
- Juvet & Sunnmøre: combining architecture, deep powder and dramatic peaks
- Weekend in the Lyngen Alps: steep, glaciated runs for seasoned adventurers
