Steep and Midnight Sun Skiing
May and June are magical months for skiing in Norway, offering 24-hour daylight and corn snow on midnight descents down north-facing slopes. In 2025, Northern Scandinavia saw record snowfalls, surpassing even the legendary winters of 2017 and 2020.
Two standout areas are ideal for late-spring skiing: the island of Kågen (Skjervøy) and the glaciated mountains around Narvik. Kågen is perfect for fall-line descents to the sea in May, while Skjomen’s alpine terrain and higher elevation are best explored in June, with road access up to the snow line and overnight stays in mountain huts.
Thanks to 24-hour daylight and generally stable snow conditions, these trips suit skiers seeking steeper lines and longer tours. However, there are also plenty of moderate options. Trips can be booked for 3 or more days.
