Norway Ski Holidays Skiing & Snowboarding around the Ski Resorts of Norwegian Lapland

Ski holidays in Norway - stunning scenery, pristine forests, fjords, glaciers and guaranteed snow - this is Norwegian Lapland in the Arctic Circle.


There is a myth that most of the skiing in Norwayis cross-country orientated. Whilst there is km after km of cross-country trails, there is some really good downhill terrain for all levels and some serious back-country ski touring if you fancy going off the beaten track for an adventure you'll never forget!


Plus, from around October to March, there is the incredible natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis to give them their correct name - blue, green and yellow streams of light high in the night sky.

Summer

In summer, the snowy mountain tops remain but the valleys give way to warm days where most of the popular outdoor activities take place including:

  • Mountain biking
  • Hiking
  • Fishing
  • Swimming
  • Sailing
  • Kayaking
  • White water rafting

One of the most popular summer activities is to head to some of the fjords that are close to several ski resorts including Folgefonna. The fjords are simply stunning and are an ideal day trip.
