Arctic Center

Arctic Center aims to develop Tromsø into a complete winter sports destination based on alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and backcountry ski touring including summit ski climbs. Moreover, Arctic Center has a huge potential for year-round operation with its own activities combined with activities offered by partners.

The establishment of a year-round destination in Håkøybotn will turn Tromsø into an international winter destination, whereby air traffic direct from the source markets to Tromsø will play a key role in creating a large volume of foreign tourists.

Estimated equity capital of NOK 100 – 150 million will be required to implement the necessary investments in the first phase.
The alpine skiing component will focus on slopes for the general public, but it will be possible to integrate competition trails for sporting purposes into the concept.

Over and above the sporting component of the ski slopes, Arctic Center will be in a position to seek for venture capital for investment in buildings and infrastructure.

Private actors in Tromsø are expected to invest in the potential that lies in the development of the hotel area, an alpine village and cabin field.
A realisation of Arctic Center will be an urban development project as well as a tourism project. It will make Tromsø a more attractive place to live, as well as raise the tourism industry one step further to becoming a complete year-round destination for tourists in search of exotic adventures.

Consequently, we are seeking partners and investors who see a potential in the tourism industry in Tromsø and in the region’s fastest growing city, preferably ones with experience in developing alpine destinations and with the development of ski resorts or tourism complexes.
