Hurtigruten
Powder Cruise
We all agreed that this is the ultimate way to combine skiing and adventure travel. The big difference between us and the blue haired pensioners that cruise with Hurtigruten is that we bring our skis and a minibus. Our plan is to make a Legendary Ski Safari with the help of this cruise ship and go from Bergen to Lofoten and Narvik in a week.
Hurtigruten departs every evening from Bergen, and calls at 34 ports on its journey north. There are high mountains which invite to incomparable skiing very close to many of these ports.
Imagine yourself with tired legs after a day on the mountain, roll in with the minibus on the ferry, take the elevator up to your cabin, jump into the Jacuzzi and then enjoy a nice dinner before falling asleep gently cruising to the next port. Go out on the balcony and see the sun come up over the majestic Norwegian Alps, have a breakfast before the minibus rolls on to a new untracked mountain.
This procedure repeated throughout the week, except for a few nights where we believe there is reason to stay overnight. We know that the weather on the Norwegian Vestlandet is anything but stable. Therefore, the program is more than flexible. To get the very best we bring one of Norway’s most experienced skier, Torkel Karoliussen, a star in Free Radical Ski Films, with us as a local guide. Responsible for the safety is our own mountain guide Pelle Bagewitz.
...the work that Alpine Legends did for our team far exceeded any of my past experiences....you treated us as partners and friends rather than simply clients.
