Compared to the Alps, the mountains in Scandinavia are much less populated and generally more remote. Norway especially has some areas perfectly suited to backcountry camping and snowboarding. Check out the Jotunheimen Mountains about 3 hours north of Oslo, along with the Sunnmore Alps which are situated among the fjords of the west coast.

North of the Arctic Circle are the Lofoten Islands which are home to some incredible mountains. Along the coast from Lofoten are the Lyngen Alps where you’ll find some of the best splitboarding terrain in Europe, along with some ridiculous mountain and sea views. There are plenty of quiet valleys for camping in Lofoten and Lyngen surrounded by awesome lines.

The Arctic islands of Svalbard are also a good option. Here you can ride big lines in good snow under the midnight sun from May onwards. Keep that rifle handy in case of Polar Bear issues though!
