23/04 - 01/05/2011:Skiers dream in the high north
Price: 1,490 EUR
In late april the valleys of the alps start already to become green, and the snow is getting wet and melting away, in the high north of sweden the mountains still lay under a deep cover of snow. Even the sun is shining for almost 20 hours per day the insolation so little that cold powdery winter snow will reamin on norhtern exposures. Remember we are about 250 Km north of the polar circle. With our trip ” skiers dream in the high north” we will provide you a very varying skitrip at the end of the winter. After our arrival at Kiruna Airport, an 80 km drive will take us through incredible landscape to the small village of Abisko right by the still deep frozen lake.
The next 6 days will be at our disposal. Each day we will decide depending on weather and conditions where we will take you. The skiarea of Abisko offers with small hikes some very nice off piste skiing. The helicopter is based directly behind our lodge and can take us to any peak in the closer region. One of the best Freeskiing spots of skandinavia ” Riksgränsen” is just a 30 minute drive away. Crossing the border to Norway we will get to the city of Narvik. On Narvikfjället the lifts will take us up over 1000 Meters. Great runs with stunning views over the ocean are guaranteed.
If you want to explore a lot of different terrain, experience some of the best skiing in the high north this trip will be the ideal for you.
