Winter Opportunities
at Singla
Hosted Ski touring Adventures & WInter Creative retreat
Backcountry Creative Retreat
March 24th-30th, 2027
This week is open for individuals and friends who want to explore Singla and the island of Arnøya in all of its winter wonderland glory, but at a slower ski pace that allows for plenty of time to observe and capture the inspirations of the Arctic. We will enjoy daily adventures around the island on backcountry skis and skins, with an emphasis on safe, moderate terrain, and stops along the way to sketch at a mountain hut or en plein air as weather allows.
Hannah will lead simple creative exercises and prompts throughout the week, making the most of our outside time and facilitating cozy projects by the fire on evenings and stormy days. No creative experience is needed and a curated kit of supplies will be yours to use and keep. Other activities will include sauna sessions, optional icy dips, warming family style meals, and time to rest, read, reflect, connect and generally recharge. *Check out our new bring a friend offer!

The Island
Lying just north of the Lyngen Alps, Arnøya, is roughly 275 square kilometers with a couple tiny villages and 250 total residents. It is very mountainous with excellent ski touring in alpine terrain with peaks ranging from 600-1100 meters. The islands of Laukøya and Kågen are also easily accessible via ferry, allowing for day trips from Singla.
The Place
Called Singla by locals, is a historic homestead that is in the process of being re-imagined as a base for arts, research and adventure. First homesteaded in the 1850s it consists of a handful of buildings from generations of fiskerbonde or the fisherman-farmers life, including an old pier, boathouse, barn, cottage, sauna, and small working lighthouse, complete with all of the tools and treasures of years gone by.
The accomodation
The small farmhouse cottage has snug double occupancy rooms and a kitchen and living room for eating group meals and relaxing by the cozy woodstove. The house provides rustic accommodations, trading modern conveniences for the rich stories and charm of the spaces. We have electricity and running water for cooking and washing, and encourage sea dips paired with sauna bathing (there are no shower or laundry facilities available). The bathroom contains a mountain hut-style incinerating toilet. We look forward to sharing Scandinavian traditions like Fika (afternoon coffee with fresh baked treats) and wild favorites from fjell and fjord together.
