Sognefjord All Inclusive

If you’re looking for a day-ski-touring trip in a region with a longer powder season than Japan, as much snow as Canada’s west coast and easily accessible mountains then join us at our Sogn All Inclusive in the heart of Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, Sognefjord for an unforgettable week skiing some of the finest snow conditions you’ll find anywhere..

A week in Sogndal and Fjaerland.

While many international ski tourists travel to the Lyngen peninsula in the far north of Norway most Norwegians head to the fjords on the west coast for their ski touring adventures and with good reason. This area has some of the best powder skiing in the world, a long season and variety of micro climates meaning there’s nearly always a flank of a mountain with fresh snow. In these parts they say “where it snows tonight we ski tomorrow” and that’s exactly the mantra your guide will use to find you the best ski conditions each day, all adding up to an unforgettable adventure in one of ski Norway’s best kept secrets….until now!

 

Accomodation next to the fjords

For this trip we use Fjærland Fjordstove Hotel, a small white wooden hotel built in 1937 situated on the shores of Norway’s longest Sognefjord, as the base to explore this relatively unknown ski touring region of mountains, glaciers and fjords, a region National Geographic named as the worlds best holiday destination. The hotel itself is renowned for it’s great local cuisine and charming atmosphere. Waking up and drawing back the curtains each morning from one of the fjord view bedrooms reveals majestic snow covered peaks rising 1500m out of the fjord. After a great days skiing you can look forward to a home cooked 3 course day based on local produce reflecting the season. See more: http://fjaerlandhotell.no/en/
