This is a short guide to the alpine skiing areas in Norway. This is mostly for enthusiasts that love reaching summits powered by their own muscles.



1 Svalbard Islands

While Svalbard is remote and wild it is still easily accessible. Located between 74 and 81 degrees north, Spitsbergen and Svalbard is probably one of the most exotic skiing adventures you´ll find. Because of the light the best season is May-June. It´ll be a little different experience because of the armed guide protecting you from polar bears. And the transport to starting point will be by snow mobile or boat. The locals are welcoming and you will have a great time even when your not skiing.

2 Alta region in Finnmark

One of the best starting points to your Alta skiing experience is Langfjordbotten. Located deep in the end of Langfjorden you´re surrounded by numerous mountains, and the best thing is that there is very few people around. You leave your own tracks up and down. The mountain heights are suitable for daytrips. There is not many local guides in Langfjordbotten, you´ll have to find them in Alta.
