Ski and Sail in the Arctic Circle

A week on-board Firebird in wild and beautiful Norwegian surroundings

Words by Pelorus

It’s with good reason that the Lyngen Alps of Northern Norway are regaled to be one of the best off-piste skiing destinations in the world. Pristine slopes of fresh powder merge with icy waters of the North Sea, and a complete ban on helicopter and snowmobile-assisted accents ensures total serenity.

Located well inside the Arctic circle, these mountains offer guaranteed skiing until mid-May at the least, and there is no better way to sample this unique destination than on-board Firebird, part of a changing tide that represents a new wave of exploration: the use of small, more affordable private yachts that are able to reach remote and wild regions.

Move anchorages each day to experience new slopes, watch out for whales and the Northern Lights, and enjoy seasonal, first-class cuisine within the luxurious confines of the Oyster 855. With space for six guests, and numerous ski touring routes for skiers of all levels and abilities, a week on-board Firebird is the perfect blend of luxury and adventure.
