Ski & Sail Expedition in Norway Sunnmore Alps- All Women
Ski. Sail. Sisterhood.
Join Us for the Ultimate Women’s Norway Ski & Sail Expedition!
Ski and Sail trips feature fantastic skiing accessible only by boat. We’ll keep a sharp eye out for puffins, sea eagles, walrus, arctic foxes, and even muskoxen. And it’s not uncommon to share a ski run with a herd of galloping miniature reindeer!
Ready to carve fresh tracks through untouched snow, sail beneath midnight sun skies, and share the adventure with a crew of bold, like-minded women? This is more than a trip — it’s a sailing expedition into the Alps where the mountains rise from the sea, and glaciers whisper ancient secrets.

Norway sail to ski trip for women.
Backcountry skiing – from a Sailboat!
That’s right. We will spend 5 nights on the boat, and two days exploring the mainland.
8 Days | All-Women | Backcountry Ski & Sail | Yoga & Wellness | All Meals Included
Set sail aboard a cozy expedition sailboat and journey through the wild fjords of Aalesund, Norway — one of the last great frontiers. Each day brings a new adventure: sunrise yoga on deck, skinning up remote glacier valleys, summiting Arctic peaks, and sailing past calving glaciers and possible northern lights sightings. At night, relax with nourishing meals, good company, and the peaceful silence.
No crowds. No lifts. Just mountains, ocean, and soul-fueled exploration.

🧘♀️ Start your mornings with mindful movement and end your days with reflection and recovery — because strength and softness belong together. With experienced guides leading the way, this trip is designed to empower, connect, and ignite your wild.
Traveling by boat enables us to sample the best ski touring and ski mountaineering spots along the fjords. We access the skiing via a rubber dinghy powered by an outboard motor. We step off the dinghy, over the cold, salty waters that lap at the narrow interface between sea and alpine, put on skis and packs, and climb!
Space is limited — this intimate expedition is designed for a small group to ensure safety, connection, and personal experience. If you’re called by the cold and the call of sisterhood, this trip is for you.
Skill level – what is required of you: You must be in good shape, ready to climb around 1200 altitude meters 4 days in a row. We recommend that you have reasonably good skiing skills, from medium to advanced levels. This is not a trip for beginners.
More About The Sail & Ski Norway Experience
For winter sports enthusiasts tired of the same old crowded slopes, our private ski and sail charters help you get some adventure and adrenaline back in your skis. Like any other LUX retreat, this trip is all-inclusive. That means we take care of everything: 3 meals a day, guides, program, daily yoga, safety, and help with travel logistics.
With our go-anywhere expedition ships, we’ll take you to pristine slopes in some of the wildest locations on Earth.
Use the ship as a floating basecamp to explore and ski from as your expert guide scopes out the perfect mountains for you to conquer. When you’re done for the day, enjoy your après-ski on board, and we’ll whisk you and your party off to the next unforgettable run.
