Sawback Alpine Adventures

Did you know that Sawback offers three different types of backcountry ski trips in Norway? 🇳🇴⛷️

Each one offers a unique way to explore the country and enjoy incredible skiing in spectacular locations.

❄️ Svalbard Ski & Sail
Travel deep into the Arctic, combining mountain turns with life aboard a sailboat.

🏔️ Fjords of Northern Norway
Another Ski & Sail trip, where you’ll descend from stunning summits right down to the water’s edge, surrounded by dramatic fjord scenery.

🏡 Seiland House
Settle into a warm and welcoming lodge and enjoy ski days right from the door, or venture across the fjords to explore the surrounding region.

Which trip is calling your name?

Winter is fast approaching at Burnie Glacier Chalet, and we’d love to have you join us for some of Canada’s best (and least crowded) backcountry terrain.

Burnie offers the freedom of a private lodge with endless terrain right out the door: long, glaciated alpine objectives, reliable midwinter powder, epic tree skiing when the storms roll in, and typical touring days of 1,200–1,600 vertical metres.

There are still a few spots available for the 2027 season, including one last-minute opening for a full-chalet booking from January 8–15. A cancellation has opened up this week, and we’re offering it at 30% off for a group of family or friends.

Is there anything more magical than the sunrise at Burnie Glacier Chalet?

Thank you for even more amazing images from this summer at Burnie Glacier Chalet!

What makes Svalbard such an amazing place to ski?

In our most recent Sawback blog, we hear the perspective of an experienced expedition leader, from what draws him back to the Arctic to what it actually takes to ski in this remote environment.

What makes a Ski & Sail trip in Northern Norway so special? ⛵️⛷️

Hear from Sawback guest Ashley about what made her trip so much fun, from skiing in the mountains to life aboard the boat and everything in between.

New trip alert!! 🇬🇱

We are excited to be launching a new backcountry ski trip to Inussuit Lodge in Greenland this year.

Inussuit Lodge offers a superb base for a week of exploratory ski touring in the mountains and fjords of West Greenland. Set in a remote wilderness near Maniitsoq, the new lodge gives us access to an enormous variety of largely untracked terrain, with alpine summits rising directly above the sea, broad glaciers, long valleys, and descents running almost to the water.

Join us this year May 14-21, 2027 in Greenland!
