Kvaløya all inclusive

18.4.26 – 25.4.26 and 25.4.26 – 2.5.26

Epic all-inclusive ski week. The package includes local transfers, meals prepared by a private chef, and guided skiing in the mountains.

Kvaløya island, located west of Tromsø, offers unforgettable skiing experiences in breathtaking fjord and mountain scenery. This unique destination attracts freeriders from all over the world. All skiing is done by skinning – there are hardly any ski resorts in the area. During the days, 800–1200 meters of vertical are climbed with the help of climbing skins, providing an excellent opportunity to enjoy Northern Norway’s wild nature and untouched lines.
In spring, descents are made either on sun-softened corn snow or, on colder days, in light, dry powder. This versatile environment offers varied skiing experiences suitable both for seasoned freeriders and for newcomers seeking something truly unique.

Some locations can be accessed by motorboat, adding to the sense of adventure and allowing entry to secluded spots where no other ski groups are seen. On Kvaløya, approaches are usually short and do not require skiing through dense brush, making them pleasant and easily accessible.

This trip offers the perfect combination of exciting skiing experiences and incredible nature. During the week, it’s possible to spot whales, porpoises, and sea eagles.

Welcome to experience Kvaløya’s magical landscapes and unforgettable skiing adventures!

All local transfers and meals are included in the price.

The trip price includes all local transfers from Tromsø Airport to the accommodation, as well as daily transports to the starting points – whether by car or by boat for approaches to more remote peaks. This way, you can fully focus on skiing and enjoying nature.

During the week, you’ll be looked after by experienced chef Taneli Kantanen, who prepares all meals from scratch on site. Breakfast is served at the accommodation before the ski day, lunch is enjoyed on the mountain during a break, and dinner rounds off the day in a cozy atmosphere at the lodge. The menu features nourishing food made from Nordic ingredients, supporting active days outdoors without compromising on taste.

The trip requires a minimum of 4 participants, with a maximum group size of 6. Please contact us before booking if you have any special dietary requirements.
