\n\t\t\t\tDuring my trip to Costa Rica there was one question that kept echoing in my head, \"How is it possible that so much beauty exists in the very world I live in?\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Composed of countless fjords and lakes<\/strong>, small islands, rugged mountains and pretty fishing villages full of traditional Scandinavian huts, this is a true winter paradise. In addition, the opportunity to contemplate the impressive Northern Lights<\/strong> and to spend a few days “living” above the Arctic Circle<\/strong> make this destination an incomparable experience.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, as a ski lover<\/strong>, being able to reach the top of several mountains to contemplate those breathtaking landscapes and then skiing down to the seashore was an unforgettable sensation. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What to consider when choosing Lofoten Islands as a ski destination?<\/h2>\n

Although there are some small ski resorts, Lofoten Islands is a paradise for ski mountaineering<\/strong>. This implies reaching the summits ourselves and, therefore, a good physical condition.<\/p>\n

However, seeing the fjords from the heights<\/strong>, skiing down to the sea and having the possibility of skiing in multiple mountains and valleys, are totally worth the effort.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How many days are recommended for skiing in the Lofoten Islands?<\/h2>\n

Reach up to Lofoten Islands<\/strong> The best-case scenario involves a stopover in Oslo, followed by a flight to Svolvaer<\/span> and, finally, a road trip; so to make the trip worthwhile and to enjoy all that the destination has to offer, I would recommend spending there at least four or five days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Top experience in the Lofoten Islands<\/h2>\n

The special feeling of experiencing pure skiing<\/strong> in a remote place is multiplied when, aboard a boat, we sail from Svolvaer to the Troll Fjord<\/strong> for an intense day of skiing in an incomparable setting.<\/p>\n

At the end, we sailed back home while regaining our strength by tasting a traditional Norwegian fish soup on board the ship.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Surfing in the Norwegian Arctic<\/h2>\n

Although we hadn’t planned on it, we learned that the coastal village of Unstad<\/strong> offers the possibility of \u00a1surfing<\/strong>! It is a wave suitable for all levels and in the village there is a surf school as well as surfboard and wetsuit rental stores.<\/p>\n

Having the opportunity to take off your ski boots to put on a wetsuit and get into the sea after skiing that day is something that does not exist anywhere else in the world. It was certainly a very special experience.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The landscapes of the Norwegian Arctic<\/a> are far more impressive than I could have imagined.
