Ski from mountain to fjord with panoramic views
Ski from mountain to fjord
Few ski destinations combine mountains and ocean quite like Narvik.
Here, dramatic Arctic peaks rise directly from the fjords, creating a ski landscape unlike anywhere else. Ski at Narvikfjellet above the city or leave the resort behind and explore untouched snow, remote mountains and spectacular freeride terrain with a private local guide.
In 2029, Narvik will welcome the world as host of the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, placing this Arctic ski destination on one of the biggest stages in international alpine skiing.
Ski Narvikfjellet
Narvikfjellet rises directly above the city, with skiing from approximately 200 to more than 1,000 metres above sea level.
The mountain offers terrain for different levels, from prepared slopes to challenging freeride terrain. What makes skiing here exceptional is the setting. From the upper mountain, you ski with panoramic views across the Ofotfjord, the city and snow-covered peaks in every direction.
Private ski guides can be arranged for guests who want to discover more of the mountain and find the best terrain and snow conditions of the day.
Freeride & Ski Touring
Beyond the resort, a vast Arctic mountain landscape is waiting to be explored.
The mountains surrounding Narvik offer exceptional opportunities for ski touring and freeriding, with everything from accessible day tours to remote peaks, steep descents and long runs towards the fjords.
Efjord is one of the areas that makes this region particularly special. Surrounded by dramatic granite mountains and deep fjords, it offers spectacular terrain and the possibility of finding untouched powder far away from busy ski resorts.
With a private local guide, each day is planned around the best available snow, weather and conditions. This gives you the freedom to explore different mountains throughout your stay rather than following a fixed itinerary.
Some days may be about finding fresh powder. Others may take you high above the fjords for long descents through remote Arctic terrain.
