Description
I propose to take you on a wonderful adventure in Norway, in the Finnmark region, to ski beyond the Arctic Circle. On board the comfortable boat Kamak, you will discover one of the northernmost places in Europe which is also a paradise for ski touring and sailing.
This trip is very different from what you can find elsewhere: we will get away from the classics to ski lesser known but equally interesting and beautiful slopes and peaks. My great experience in the polar regions combined with that of the crew will allow us to reach the fjords and the wildest parts of Finnmark.
Our means of transportation is the boat Kamak, a 24 meter sailing boat with great sailing and motor qualities, safety and comfort. It is equipped to be used as an itinerant base camp for ski-mountaineering, hiking, sea kayaking, diving, fishing, wildlife observation, astrophotography, etc.
On this boat I also propose other trips :
- ski touring in Lofoten, from Bodø to Tromsø,
- exploration of the fjords of the east coast of Greenland,
- ski-mountaineering and wildlife observation in Spitzbergen.
