A sumptuous guide to some of the world's best skiing - and all of it in Norway. But almost none of it has ski lifts so you need nordic or alpine ski mountaineering skis. The original Norwegian version of Ski Touring in Norway has inspired thousands of Norwegians to break trail in search of great ski experiences. Now this classic book is finally available in English with new overview photos and improved route drawings. 156 mountains are described in 34 areas.
This book is indispensable for choosing where to go, planning your ski day and even during route finding in the mountains - though its a bit big to carry in your rucksack. Each of the summits is thoroughly described, with route choices, maps and overview photos, and each of the areas is presented with useful information on accommodation, transport, maps, website and local ski areas. There are also chapters about gear, first aid, avalanche knowledge and glacier travel.
Written by Trygve Sunde Kolderup, Arne Litlere, Anders Waage Nilsen and Erlend Sande with the assistance of many of the country's top ski tourers.
