A guidebook to ski and kayak, two means that sum up the characteristics of the Lofoten Islands. A text full of photographs, maps, experiences, suggestions, small stories of this fascinating corner of the Great Nord.Itinerari chosen for alpine skiing are also described with the aid of photographs drawn, general information, tips and techniques to deal in the North Sea kayaking, in addition to the routes of all difficulties . Fabio Pasini: skier and kayaker, hyperactive by nature and by choice, has made several expeditions to the Far North and other remote lands. Writing and photography have become for him a personal need first to be a witness to travel and work.
. "I love wide open spaces and patches of wilderness that characterizes our planet. The kayak and ski are my two passions, two media that have always accompanied me in my travels to the Lofoten Islands. This way of moving has allowed me to have particular points of view and they can know and see both the inside and from outside ... giving great skiing and beautiful paddles in the ocean ... We are the 67th parallel, well above the Arctic Circle. The climate is not so rigid because of the Gulf Stream, the winter darkness is illuminated by the aurora borealis, and in the spring, the warm lights and shadows are getting longer, with a sun that seems to not want to set. The highest mountains are just over one thousand meters, but they can also give glimpses of high mountains, the sea is the sea North, with its currents, its winds, the Maelstrom and his orca, but which, however, can be experienced and navigated with the small kayak. This gives rise to the idea of \u200b\u200bwriting a book about these islands, a sort of guide, that will not only be a "cool" driving, but contain, in addition to the photographic material and logistical information, including stories of experiences and history Norwegian, a starting point to find, perhaps, the urge to leave and go to fly new routes and new tracks ...
