While the Winter Olympics are being celebrated and the passion for snow sports is being rediscovered, Aurora Expeditions offers guided ski and snowboard programs as part of some trips to Antarctica, combining high-adrenaline adventure with exploration in one of the most remote environments on the planet.
Each year, a select group of adventurers embarks on these journeys, disembarking by Zodiac at sea level, ascending on foot with their own equipment, and descending glacier-covered terrain that rises directly from the coast. Unlike traditional ski resorts, there are no stations, lifts, or groomed slopes. Guests experience fully self-propelled ski touring, with penguin colonies and other wildlife frequently visible nearby, as well as regular whale sightings in the surrounding waters.
Antarctic ski touring attracts experienced skiers and snowboarders seeking challenge, adventure, and total immersion in nature, emphasizing endurance, overcoming obstacles, and exploration.
As interest in experiential and adventure travel continues to grow, Aurora Expeditions reports increasing demand for programs focused on activities such as ski touring and snowboarding, and plans to increase the number of Antarctic trips offering these programs by 50% for the 2027/28 season.
