What Travellers Are Saying

Arctic Magic!

If Svalbard is on your bucket list, this is an experience you can't miss.

Ski and explore with Hilde and her team. Immerse yourself in the magic of nature, where animals, light, snow, and sun come together in perfect harmony. Add a historic boat journey and connect with people who truly matter.

This is a place of wonder, and after seven visits, I know it won't be my last.

A Truly Magical Trip!

A truly magical trip. Well-organized with skilled guides and absolutely stunning nature. An adventure to experience skiing in Svalbard. Hilde Fålun Strøm has control over all guests, crew, and guides – and creates a wonderful atmosphere on board.

Caroline Grønvold

Absolutely Amazing!

Being in Svalbard was absolutely amazing! Such rare and beautiful nature. I've been to so many places in the world, but I must say that Svalbard was something entirely unique. Ski & Sail made the experience absolutely superb. I got to know many wonderful people and it was a fantastic group to be on a trip with! The best part was being without reception and enjoying the presence of all the wonderful people, the ski tours, and the food!

Birk Ruud

Fantastic Concept!

Svalbard Ski & Sail is a fantastic concept where you get to experience and explore parts of Svalbard's unknown wilderness, both in the mountains and at sea. Onboard, you can expect excellent service and accommodations in luxurious surroundings, made possible by a great group of people.

Frequently asked questions

Can i rent skis on board?

Skis cannot be rented, but we will have some pairs of test skis available for borrowing. We recommend everyone to bring their own, or rent in advance, ski boots, skis, skins, and poles. Crampons can also be useful, especially for advanced skiers.

are there large groups that go together?

The groups are divided by skill level and there are 6 skiers in each group, each with their own guide. We seek out areas that offer good skiing for all levels – we spread out in the mountains.

Do you have to be in great shape?

It is important that all participants are able to hike up a mountain at a leisurely pace. We have two levels: intermediate and expert, and more is required of those in the expert group. They often hike longer and higher, and being in good shape is definitely recommended.

What do we do about lunch?

We prepare packed lunches at breakfast and bring water and often a thermos with a hot drink.

do we know were we will ski along the way?

We know the sailing route and the planned landings and ski areas, but the weather conditions always determine where we ski and what kind of terrain/steepness is appropriate. The guides and captain assess the situation continuously. Safety always comes first.

Thoughts about sustainability

Hilde has witnessed firsthand the rapid climate changes on Svalbard and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and love for the Arctic. While organizing a Ski&Sail expedition may not be the most sustainable choice, sharing the beauty of the Arctic, inspiring each other, and fostering a deep connection to nature is. The goal is to cultivate a profound love for the Arctic, which will inspire us all to take meaningful action. By connecting heart to heart, we can ignite a collective drive for solutions and the transitions necessary to protect our planet.

We matter more than we think!
