2020 Destinations

Our travels in: 2018 |2017 | 2016

For 2020 we will be in Arctic Norway skiing in the Lyngen Alps and Finnmark near Tromso in April. No plans firmed up yet for the summer as currently assessing feasibility of sailing through the White Sea and the Russian canals to Saint Petersburg and through the Baltic Sea or down the Norwegian coast via the Faroe Islands and back to Scotland. Watch this space !

Our 2020 ski / sail week-by-week programme is set out lower down this page, with a summary on the

Schedule & Prices page.

This will be our third year in Norway and second ski season in Lyngen although we are still pioneering new areas so it’s an adventure rather than a pre determined set itinerary.

If you have a week in mind or want to chat about the options do call or e-mail us. Flights are reasonably priced especially if booked well in advance so early booking is recommended.

We endeavour to follow the outline itineary each week, but this may be subject to change due to weather or other safety considerations which we share with all on board but ultimately as skippers we make the 'final call'.

View an overview of our 2018 sailing in Norway, 2017 sailing in Norway and our 2016 sailing in the Baltic Sea. We also carry guest reviews and pictures of our recent adventures on our facebook site.
