Freeride World Tour athlete Wille Lindberg didn’t realize how much his life would change when he first arrived in Jondal, Norway in May 2016. “I was a bit tired of [competing],” recalls Lindberg, a Lange and Dynastar sponsored athlete with multiple podium appearances during his five years on the global circuit, “I wanted to approach skiing in a different way, so I started learning sailing.”
Lindberg soon found himself planning and executing sail-to-ski trips around his native Sweden, and eventually in northern Norway. However, it wasn’t until a chance occurrence with the landlord of a waterfront property in Jondal that Lindberg was able to realize his dream of “doing something different.”
In this short film captured by the team at Subtech Sports , we discover how Lindberg became the owner and operator of the Hardanger Fjord Lodge—a remote bed-and-breakfast with access to seemingly endless ski-touring terrain. Lindberg’s doors are open year-round for anyone seeking untouched snow and a getaway from the buzz of everyday life.
