Happy Fourth of July! In anticipation of this winter’s World Championships in Trondheim, Norway, we wanted to share some reflections from Judy Young and Joel Harrison at New Moon Ski and Bike Shop who traveled with Lumi and the rest of the New Moon crew to the 2023 World Champs in Slovenia.

This Saturday, June 29, the best cyclists will set off from Florence, Italy for the first stage of the 2024 Tour de France. For the next three weeks, they’ll be riding around 200 km of often hilly or mountainous terrain every day. This devilishly grueling stage race serves as a model for the winter equivalent – Tour de Ski. How about a Tour de France or Tour de Ski with Lumi this winter? We’re offering $300 off both trips through the final stage of the Tour de France.

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” goes the old adage. Though perhaps the word I’m searching for is not revenge, but rather payback – payback to both my parents for instilling me with a love for skiing and passion for travel. I have them both to thank. If you’d like to raise a glass with your parents or adult child(ren), we’re offering $300 off all Lumi trips through Father’s Day – this Sunday, June 16 – and still have space available on a few of Lumi’s popular 2025 Worldloppet trips.

What do Estonia and Finland have in common? There’s a lot more that connects these two small countries in northern Europe than simply the Baltic Sea. Lumi’s newest cross country ski vacation takes guests to Estonia & Finland and offers the opportunity to ski the Tartu and Finlandia Worldloppet events on back-to-back weekends. In preparation for the new Estonia & Finland Lumi trip, I spent last week in both countries, immersing myself in the local landscape and culture.

With so much attention focused on the sky as many places in North America prepare for the upcoming total solar eclipse, it seems like a great time to highlight another solar phenomenon. One of my favorite ways to extend the ski season is to travel north in the early spring, an ideal time to see the aurora borealis or northern lights. Learn how to increase your chances of seeing the northern lights and on which Lumi trips you’re most likely to see them inside!

This is the last week to receive the $300 early booking discount on 2025 Lumi trips! It’s also the first week of spring, though it feels like there was never a winter in many places. One place that definitely had winter (and still does!) is Norway. Lumi skiers on the Norway-Birken trip savored their time on snow in Scandinavia this past week. Read on for more trip highlights!

This time last year on the first day of the Seefeld & Engadin trip a photo of a guest swimming in Seefeld popped up on the group WhatsApp thread on my phone. I was trailside at the World Championships in Planica, Slovenia and was surprised to see a guest swimming in the pond in front of Seefeld’s iconic Seekirchl church…
