Svinøya Rorbuer has a unique location with fantastic views of Svolvær and the surrounding mountains. It is right on the pier with a view of Svolværgeita and a bustling life of fishing boats during the winter.
Few things are as beautiful as seeing the Lofoten Wall rise from the sea. That's why we take you out on the fjord and let you experience Norway's most beautiful mountain range from a different perspective.
We are passionate about offering local culinary experiences from our region. All meals will have a local touch, you will be both surprised and hopefully leave Lofoten with the memory of some of the best culinary experiences you've had in your life.

Dra til Svolvær og opplev den unike stemningen i fiskeværet som kopler internasjonale impulser med sjarm og historie.
Welcome to the world's most beautiful archipelago, Lofoten, and charming Svinøya! In this stunning landscape, there is much to explore. If you arrive early, we recommend taking a walk out to the iconic Fiskerkona on the pier. Along the way, you will pass the fish racks with this year's catch from the skrei fishing. It's truly an authentic experience!
If you wish to experience more of Lofoten, we can arrange tours and excursions before and after the ski touring weekend.
Svinøya Rorbuer is located just outside Svolvær, with a 10-minute walk to the city center. The airport bus from Evenes stops right outside the door, making it very accessible.
Hosts from the Norwegian Adventure Company will meet you at check-in from 3:00 PM and will be available 24/7 throughout your stay.
At 7:00 PM on the day of arrival, there will be a welcome gathering at Børsen where you will receive information about the weekend, the skiing, and of course, enjoy a delicious meal! After that, it's time to get your gear ready and have a good night's sleep before your first day of skiing!
First day of skiing! Breakfast is served from 7:00 AM. At 8:30 AM, we will gather for a guide meeting to ensure everyone has what they need before we head out to the mountains for the day. The specific mountains will be decided by our certified guides the evening before, taking the weather conditions and avalanche risk into account.
We plan for tours lasting 4-6 hours. The pace and ascent depends on the group; this is about great skiing and having time to enjoy the views!
After a long day out in the mountains, you can test the temperature of the fjord with an arctic swim, followed by a more comfortable sauna, or enjoy your first beer on the dock or in the stockfish loft. After a few enjoyable hours of après-ski, we will get ready and walk together to Svolvær city center for a delicious three-course dinner featuring the finest local ingredients from the region.
We wake up once again in stunning Svolvær, and now that you're familiar with the routines from yesterday, maybe you'll have time to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while taking in the view of Svolværgeita (Svolvær’s pride – The Mountain Goat, a peak that can be climbed with climbing gear)? Breakfast starts at 7:00 am, followed by a guide meeting at 8:30 am. Today, we will explore new mountains with skiing from peak to shore, enjoying 360-degree views and great descents. The possibilities are endless!

If you thought yesterday's après-ski was an authentic Lofoten experience, we're taking it to the next level today! Get ready for après-ski with a DJ, a taste of Lofoten, and lots of fun on the old wooden boat Hestøy! So far, we have admired the majestic nature from the mountains, but now it's time to change the perspective and see the Lofoten Wall from the sea.
Back at Svinøya, there will be time for a shower and some relaxation before a pleasant dinner at the old stockfish loft. Each day, an exciting menu based on the finest quality local ingredients will be served. The bar is open, so feel free to sit and chat with new acquaintances long into the night. Alternatively, you can head to Anker Brygge for live music and guaranteed opportunities for dancing and some local fishing jokes.
Ready for another day of skiing or just taking it easy and enjoying the weather? The choice is yours, but we have planned for some fantastic scenic viewpoints on this day as well, and our skilled guides will lead the way and ensure great skiing. For those who are interested, it's also possible to book a fishing trip, kayak tour, or explore Svolvær. Breakfast will be served from 7:00 am, followed by a guide meeting at 8:30 am.
In the afternoon it's time to say goodbye for now, hopefully you have many memorable moments to carry with you. And maybe you’ll join us for another adventure in the feature. Safe travels!
Many of our guests return. We sincerily hope that this adventure has given you moments and memories you will look back on and cherish for a long time - perhaps even for life. Welcome back!
Svinøya Fishermen’s Cabins is located, as the name suggests, on a small island (svin transelates to pig, and øya to island, no) and is part of Svolvær with a bridge connection. Here, you have both the view of the ocean and towards Svolvær and the mountains. The island is a fantastic place to witness both the sunrise, the Northern Lights, and feel the weather tousle your hair while watching fishing boats sail out. Svinøya is home to Svolvær's oldest store, Krambua, dating back to 1828, symbolizing that this once was the center of Svolvær. Today, the reception of Svinøya Fishermen’s Cabins is located in Krambua, where you can still see how the store used to look. Svinøya Fishermen’s Cabins has a collection of fishermen's cabins and historical houses, and you will learn more about them and their history during your weekend with us.

There is something truly special about the Ski touring weekend in Lofoten. The atmosphere of the fishing village, the scent of the salty sea, and the breathtaking views that can leave even the most seasoned traveler in awe. The Ski touring weekend is a combination of tranquility, snow-covered mountains, and fantastic summits, mixed with a good dose of social fun and a hint of madness. Jump from the pier straight into the fjord, meet new people, or hang out with the alpine crew. There's room for people of all ages here, we share the same passion, regardless of age.
The most common questions we get asked is how tiring and long our summit ski tours are and how steep the descents are. This is not easy to answer as for each individual there is a different experience of what is deemed to be simple or demanding. Our guides will always seek to adjust according to the group, but as it is a group tour a certain level is expected. You will be out ski touring 5-8 hours a day, the speed is lower than skimo, we want you to enjoy the views. For the decents you must be able to ski in terrain with 25-30 degrees angle. Avalanche risk, snow conditions and weather will determine where we ski. To try to give guidance we have graded our tours on a scale from 1 to 5. Both Arctic Haute Route and Ski touring weekend is on level 3-5.
