Who are these expeditions intended for? Difficulty level
All of our ski expeditions in Norway are designed for ski tourers with at least some experience, which means they are not suitable for beginners. The guide will ensure that groups are formed based on similar skill levels so that everyone can fully enjoy the various outings.
Required technical skills:
- Be able to switch between skiing and walking smoothly and efficiently.
- Be able to ski on all types of snow.
The daily elevation gain generally ranges from 800 to 1,400 meters.
Although the routes avoid glacial areas, they may require mastery of advanced ski mountaineering techniques, as well as the use of specialized equipment such as crampons and an ice axe.

Rare Nordic adventures, far from the crowded routes
Imagine skiing beyond the Arctic Circle, in a raw and silent Norway, where the mountains plunge directly into the sea and where your refuge each night is none other than a comfortable expedition sailboat, carefully restored and designed to fully experience the high latitudes.
Far from the areas that have become too crowded, we take you on a unique itinerant journey, shaped by the experience of the KAMAK crew and Jean, its initiator, familiar with high latitudes since 1998.
Here, nothing is standardized: it’s a journey where you follow the conditions, the light, the snow — and the intuition born from decades spent in the north.
A common thread: sailing, skiing, exploring
Our journey begins after boarding; day after day, progress is made naturally:
- navigation between fjords and archipelagos,
- ascents of peaks chosen for their elegance, isolation or snow quality,
- anchoring each night in a calm bay, at the foot of the next day’s objective.
Days of unstable weather will turn into days of sailing — often the most memorable — where you observe the mountains from the sea, where you fish, where the Arctic light changes everything.
In the evening, discussions around the table allow us to collectively decide on the best choice for the next day.
Sometimes there are marine animals, orcas, whales, seals, but also sea eagles, moose, ptarmigans and Arctic foxes.
