General information about winter sports in Narvik.

In Narvik there are in fact two ski resorts.  Ankenes has gentle slopes especially suitable for children, beginners and families.  Even so, an undulating terrain makes it fun and challenging.  Narvik’s main resort is more suitable for the more experienced skier and snowboarder who are after a real challenge.  Here, you will find the most extreme skiing Scandinavia has to offer.  In addition to all this, there are five other ski resorts within11/2 hours travel.  

Apart from Scandinavia’s most amazing downhill resort, there are also over 30 mountain peaks of altitudes between 1300-1900m around Narvik.   Climbing, glacier walks, cross-country skiing (also in floodlit tracks), paragliding and mountain peak tours fulfil the wants and needs of any man.  The area is a real high in all senses of the word.

Narvik’s history of World Cup and alpine skiing competitions is impressive with several larger events having been organised by the very active Narvik Slalom Club.
