Season for experienced instructors in Norway

If you already have your certification, let us help you with an unforgettable season!

Head to Norway for a Season as a Ski Instructor

Norway is a family favourite with opportunities for everyone to grow. Here, you’ll find a cozy atmosphere paired with rugged skiing. With fantastic ski areas spread across the country, Norway truly offers something for everyone. Most notably, you’ll have the chance to perfect your technique on immaculate slopes groomed to perfection every morning, ready for you to carve through the fresh corduroy.

Norway stands out as a family-friendly destination that also allows you to explore more advanced mountain terrain on your own. You’ll have countless opportunities to immerse yourself in the spectacular nature, whether it’s on a sunset ski tour or feeling the adrenaline rush as you glide through the air in one of the world-class terrain parks. Ski touring has become a Norwegian favourite, and once you’ve strapped skins to your skis and ascended for 3-4 hours to descend towards the deep blue fjords, it’s an experience you’ll always want to return to.

If you’re already a certified ski instructor, we’re happy to help you arrange your season in Norway. If you need to kickstart your career as a ski instructor with your a course first, check out our ski instructor courses in Norway here!

Note: We also have positions available for experienced dual instructors (ski and snowboard). Contact us for more information!

"After my first season in Norway, I was hooked and am now looking forward to my third winter in the Norwegian mountains."

- Andreas, Snowminds Ski instructor
