Ski touring is one of the best ways to enjoy the Nordic winter - you'll love the close connection to the natural environment, the opportunity to access very remote areas and the sense of achievement that comes from moving solely under your own power.
We offer a wide range of options with varying challenge and comfort levels, whether you're a ski novice or an experienced explorer.
Choose a point-to-point tour with accommodation in welcoming local guesthouses or simple wilderness cabins along the route, make adventurous cimbs and thrilling descents from comfortable lodge base, or undertake a challenging expedition with winter camping!
"What I love about ski touring is that it feels a world away from the stress and bustle of the pistes - you have incredible winter landscapes and amazing silence to yourself and there's a real sense of expeditionary adventure.
It's an activity that can be enjoyed on many different levels, whether you're looking for a tranquil glide through the forest or a winter camping adventure to test your limits."
Bob from the Nature Travels team
The silence of the wilderness and the almost spiritual experience of gliding through a winter world leaving nothing but tracks in the snow is an irresistable combination - as well as the enjoyment of the activity itself, cross country skiing and ski touring are also simply wonderful ways to travel through the outdoor world in winter.
Discover a sense of connection with the quiet winter wilds not possible on the pistes and experience the true essence of skiing in the stillness and beauty of magical winter landscapes. What's more, it's a much more sustainable, lower-impact alternative to downhill skiing.
More than any of our other activities, we know how important it is to choose the right ski tour for you to match your ability, level of fitness and expectations.
Since we first offered ski touring when Nature Travels began in 2006, its popularity has grown significantly, and our own knowledge and experience has grown with it. As with all our activities, we have personal experience of everything we offer, and are always happy to discuss the differences between the various options to make sure you choose the tour that's right for you.
