75 Mountains in the Worlds Most Beautiful Coastal Landscape
Welcome to the region that boasts perhaps the worlds most beautiful coastal landscape. Nowhere else, the sea is closer to the mountain summits. You can start skiing almost at the waters edge while waves crash against the rocky shore.
Lofoten has already established itself as an international destination for ski touring, and its about time that neighbouring region Vesterlen gets attention as an incredibly exciting area for skiing adventures.
Ski Touring in Lofoten and Vesterlen describes tours throughout the region, from Moskenes at the outer edge of Lofoten in the west to Andya in the north. Here, youll find Lofoten classics like Ryten, Varden, and Geitgallien, while in Vesterlen, you can be inspired by
route descriptions to local favourites like Blheia, Strandtinden, and Galten, as well as lesser-known destinations like Olnilsatinden and Amarkus. The book offers tours in all categories, from short and relatively easy to longer and more challenging ones.
Routes to 75 mountains are described in detail, with a strong focus on terrain descriptions. All routes are marked on both aerial photos and hiking maps at a scale of 1:50,000. The book is also illustrated with photos from all the tours, contributed by both the author and other skilled photographers.
All routes in Ski Touring in Lofoten and Vesterlen are categorized according to ATES (Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale), allowing you to easily find a tour suited to snow conditions, ambitions, and skills.
