Accomodation

Once a home away from home for brave fishermen, today Nusfjord thrives as a home port for those seeking connection with nature and the adventures it offers.

The size of the rooms reflects the fishermen’s need for an intimate and compact residence in the weather-beaten arctic environment, but they are carefully furnished to be comfortable and meet the needs of a modern lifestyle.

As the resort is build from the old fishermens cottages, accomodation includes different types of houses and cabins.

Arctic Skiing at Lofoten

For those who want to stay a little longer in Nusfjord, there’s an opportunity to extend your trip and experience arctic guided skiing tours in the Lofoten mountains on Friday and Saturday, 24th and 25th April.

This is not part of the official Nusfjord program — but it’s something we can help coordinate for participants who would like to extend their stay beyond the scheduled days.

If skiing isn’t your thing, staying longer still makes sense. You can enjoy the outdoor spa overlooking the fjord, as well as nearby hiking routes and nature walks.

Below you’ll find practical details for those considering this option.

  • You can stay at Nusfjord and join the guided skiing tours on Friday and Saturday, the 24th and 25th of April.

  • The price for two days guided skiing tour is NOK 6,900 + equipment rental.

  • We have negotiated a special price for those staying a bit longer at the Nusfjord Resort.

    As a Mesh guest you can extend your stay for NOK 1590 per night including breakfast. Just let us know via the participation form.

  • We recommend renting equipment in Nusfjord, as the small airplanes traveling to Lofoten have limited luggage space. It is still possible to bring your own skis, but it’s important to check available space with the airline before booking your flight.
    You can rent an all-inclusive equipment package at Nusfjord which includes all mandatory equipment (skis, skins, boots, poles, crampons, avalanche safety package, ski backpack and helmet).

    The price for the all-inclusive equipment package for two days is NOK 2,600.

  • We recommend you stay the night of the day you skii to be sure you can reach the airport in time. You might be able to catch a late flight from 8PM pr later on the day you ski.

    Reach out to us if you have a late flight and want to see if you would have time to ski the same day.

  • We recommend joining the ski guides. Guides will ski with participants in small groups of up to six people.

    A small group of experienced participants may choose to go on their own.
