Based in VillaLofoten and Digermulen, we experience an amazing skiing adventure in the world's most beautiful archipelago, Lofoten. Our destination, Digermulen, a quiet little village in Lofoten surrounded by spectacular scenery, is the perfect basecamp if you seek the best skiing experiences these islands has to offer. From the living room window in charming and soulful VillaLofoten, you can overlook the highest peaks in Lofoten.
View from the villa
To reach the rugged roadless mountains we have a 45 foot charming boat for our use. “Fikssund” is one of the few remaining shetland boats (took refugees from Norway to Shetland during ww2). By using this boat we can choose and wreck in touring mountains running from over 1000 m.o.h. and right down to the sea. Back on the boat it feels great with after ski including a swim in Trollfjorden for the though ones(Vikings). Maybe we fish our dinner on our way back to Digermulen.
Back in the villa we make dinner before the evening continues outdoors in front of the open fire. Hopefully with dancing northern lights as a backdrop.

Host and guide on this adventure will be me, Eivind Drivflaadt. The reason I ended up here was my fascination for Lofoten, which occurred when I filmed the cinema documentary "Loop" in Lofoten in the winter of 2003. I fell in love with the nature and the culture and had to return. From 1996-2000 I made 4 ski and snowboard films, and in 2000 it was the first to get a cinema distribution on this type of film in Norway.

Enough background facts. I love sharing these adven- tures with my guests and after 12 winters spent in Lofoten my passion grows every year when it comes to skiing here. Together with me and a chef and aditional guides if needed, you will experience an unforgettable adventure here in Lofoten.
Lofoten is suitable for everyone. We can hit terrain that is super challenging and requires high levels of skiing, but also easier mountains with fantastic cruising for intermediate skiers who do not seek adrenaline rush when on a trip like this.
Since we are based in a coastal climate, the weather is changing all the time. Therefore the weather forecast will decide a lot of our daily touring choices. Our goal is anyway to spread spark, joy and and give you memories and inspiration for a lifetime.

During your stay we will enter the amazing Trollfjord. We always enjoy a good breakfast at VillaLofoten. After lunch packets is prepared, we are ready to start our adventure. Our boat"Fikssund" takes us to Trollfjord where we anchor up for the day.
We will also take the ship to climb some secret mountains in Raftsundet. The boat ride is app 1.5 hours, so if the weather is good we enjoy breakfast onboard on our way to our destination. In these mountains we have plenty of choices for great skiing. The terrain is built for fantastic cruising. First in open high mountain terrain, then in very playful forest.
You will almost be exposed to sea and ocean view all day on these trips. It is also cool as we on especially one face ski straight down towards the boat that is visible while skiing down the mountain.
This is wonderful trips and we will be back in Digermulen ready for a good dinner. In case of bad weather, we have lots of options around the Digermulen with delicious forest rides and several tops of rugged terrain. Arriving at the boat, after-ski and good food awaiten us on our way back to Digermulen. Maybe we are ready for a continued afterski in the hot tub when we get back before dinner is served?
Skiing and hiking around Digermulen and VillaLofoten is fantastic. Here we will find all kinds of terrain, all with amazing view. We will find amazing treeskiing here. The picture below is from this area. We ski all the way down to the ocean ready for an artic dip in the ocean!
