Beginner skiing and snowboarding in Narvik 

Narvik has some gentle green slopes that make great practice slopes as well as some nice cruisy blues that are ideal for progressing. The shorter green runs are located at the base of the mountain besides Sneff Park - a separate children's area - and are accessible via the magic carpet. The longest green run, Fjellveien, can be reached on the central gondola. This run is also neighboured by a blue area that later merges onto the end of the Fjellveien, so is a good option for those of you needing a refresh after the summer.

Intermediate skiing and snowboarding in Narvik 

Intermediates have a wider selection of slopes to choose from, with pistes progressing from blues to reds the higher up the mountain you go. Intermediates can enjoy nicely groomed red runs, including the Linkenløypa from the mountaintop.
