Equipment
Due to the nature of ski touring we advise that you invest in good quality touring boots and skis, having your own pair will really allow you to develop on equipment you can become familiar with. touring boots are much like having your own pair of hiking boots, if you get them fitted to you properly then they become an extension of your foot and make for easy and comfortable uphill movement.
That being said we can also source hire skis and boots if necessary
we will send out a full kit list when you book onto a ski camp.

For one or both of your journey legs you could take the Speedferry to Sogndal. This will take you along some of the beautiful western coastline of Norway, before taking you almost all the way up, Norway's longest and deepest fjord, Sognefjord. Ferry info here.
Oslo Airport is normally the cheapest option for flights however it is the longest travel time, 6 hours in a hire car or 7 in a bus. it is however a great way to see Southern and western Norway in beautiful winter conditions. Some of the higher roads you have to drive on can be closed in snow storms.
