Trevaretur offers trips and activities in the stunning Lofoten Archipelago in Northern Norway for both national and international customers with a base at the cultural hub Trevarefabrikkens in Henningsvær.
For the coming winter of 2023, we will host guided ski touring trips together with local guide Vegard With Stenness’ guiding company I fri natur. Vegard and all his guides are either already IFGMA certified or in the process of becoming certified to ensure high quality and safety when going on trips with us.
Our vision is to build a Henningsvær for the future, which you can visit all year around for exciting activities and an outdoor oriented lifestyle. Therefore we are also planning on offering surf trips, climbing weekends and yoga retreats in 2023. To know more about this and stay updated, sign up to our Trevaretur newsletter.
Transport is not included in the price. We urge our guests to either fly to Evenes, Svolvær og Leknes and get a rental car from there. Evenes has daily direct flights from Evenes and is usually the cheapest, although the drive to Henningsvær is a little longer – estimated 2,5-3 hours – the views along the road are scenic and it makes for a good appetizer towards your weekend in the north. Both Leknes and Svolvær airport are approximately a 1 hour drive from Henningsvær.
We have up to 8 new skiing packages from Dynafit, ranging from 166-182cm in size. Complete package (skis, boots, poles and skins) can be rented for 2200 NOK incl. VAT per person for the whole weekend. If you do not have your own avalanche gear (mandatory to go randoné skiing), this can be rented for an additional 700 NOK incl. VAT per person for the whole weekend.
TrevareTur is for everyone, no matter skill level or randoné skiing experience. One guide takes a maximum of 6 people with them per trip to ensure both safety aspects, learning and flow. The trips are modified to meet the skills of the group as a whole, but we divide the group if needed in terms of skill and wishes.
Our wish and aim is that you will be left not only with an amazing experience in total after a weekend with us, but also grow and learn as a skier in terms of terrain knowledge, skiing technique and security. We have a big focus on quality and hence all our guides are certified and do guiding for a living.
All food is included, from breakfast to lunch and a 3-course dinner every night (whole pension). Drinks are not included in the price.
You can cancel your trip up to 8 weeks in advance without costs. If you choose to cancel for whatever reason up to 5 weeks in advance, you will be refunded 50% of the booking cost. For cancellations done 4 weeks or less in advance, you will be refunded 10% of the booking cost.
If you cancel due to health issues, you will have to engage your insurance company for a refund from them. TrevareTur and/or the guides are not liable for refunds due to health issues. Hence, a valid travel insurance is imminent when going on a trip with us.
Weather conditions
Lofoten is a region with beautiful, but sometimes extreme weather, both winter and summer. That said, there is no refund if the trip is canceled due to bad weather.
