Northern Alpine Guides is a guide company based in Kavåsen, Nordland, offering expert-led outdoor adventures across the Lofoten Islands.
The company specializes in guided climbing, alpine traverses, ski weeks, mountain biking and winter ice climbing. Trips range from single-day technical climbs such as Presten’s 500m granite pillar and the Vågakallen North Ridge to multi-day expeditions like the two-day Rulten ascent and the full Lofoteggen traverse over four summits.
Guides are certified mountain professionals who design itineraries around client ability and current conditions. Public meeting points include the Kablevåg office and Leknes Cafe for mountain biking departures, while multi-day and winter groups are accommodated with full board lodging at Lofoten Ski Lodge. Private group week packages provide a dedicated guide and personalized daily plans tailored to skill level and weather.
Safety, route knowledge and local logistics are core operational focuses. Equipment rental and technical route planning are coordinated by the guides when needed.
