Description
“Ski Tours in Norway ” is a comprehensive guide to 101 of Norway’s best ski tours, spread across 16 of the country’s most popular ski touring areas. The book is written in Swedish and is designed for skiers who want to experience everything from easily accessible spring ski tours to spectacular alpine descents with views of fjords and the sea.
Norway is considered one of the world’s best countries for ski touring, with high mountains, significant elevation changes, and some of Europe’s most snow-reliable areas. From Lyngen in the north to Jotunheimen in the south, you’ll find a vast selection of ski mountains, often with roads leading all the way to the starting point. This book helps you choose the best tours based on the season, your skill level, and the type of skiing you’re looking for.
The guide describes 101 ski tours in some of Norway’s most famous ski areas, including Lyngen, Lofoten, Sunnmøre, Romsdal, Stryn, Sogndal, and Jotunheimen. The authors combine practical trip information with their own experiences from more than 20 years of ski touring in Norway, and explain why Norway’s mountains offer unique skiing experiences with long vertical drops, abundant snow, and spectacular scenery.
Among the trips highlighted as personal favorites are Randers Peak in Sunnmøre, Kirketaket in Romsdal, and Storebjørn in Jotunheimen—three classic summit hikes with fantastic views and long, beautiful descents. The book also includes advice on the best times of year to visit the various areas and shows how the spring ski season in Norway offers everything from cold powder snow to classic spring slush on the same day.
*Ski Tours in Norway* was written by Rikard Andreasson, while photographer Fredrik Schenholm is responsible for the evocative photographs. Both have completed summit treks across much of the world, but they keep returning to the Norwegian mountains, where they have built up unique local knowledge over more than two decades.
The book was published in 2022, is written in Swedish, and is one of the most comprehensive guides to ski mountaineering in Norway.
