Norway Ski Touring Adventure

Please also use the weather forecast here to inform your packing. If it is cold, you will need more layers and warmer outer layers!

We provide all the essential ski touring equipment, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own.

Ski Kit

Base layer thermal tops and bottoms (synthetic, wool or silk)
High-quality ski socks (merino wool or synthetic blends) - a selection
Fleece or wool jumper (a couple that you can layer up if cold)
Waterproof and windproof ski jacket with insulation or as a shell, depending on conditions and personal preference. Look for features like a snow skirt, adjustable hood, and ventilation zippers.
Ski Trousers / Salopettes: Waterproof and breathable ski salopettes. Insulated options work well for colder days, while shell trousers are better for layering and flexibility.
Sunglasses
Ski googles
Buff (you might want two - one for your neck, one under your hat
Ski gloves (two pairs, ideally, in case one gets wet)
Glove liners and/or disposable hand warmers if you suffer from cold hands
20 - 30 litre backpack
Beanie or hat
Hand warmers: Small, disposable hand warmers are a nice backup on extra-cold days.
