The Lyngen Peninsula

In the Lyngen archipelago you can start skiing from the snow covered beaches and climb summits with amazing views of the surrounding mountains and fjords. You will enjoy the freedom to find your own route with untouched powder snow back to your yacht.​ ​With several hundred summits, the area offers a variety of possibilities and challenges so you will always find a summit that fits your personal ambitions and fit. The trips will be planned according to your wishes and skills.

Typical itinary for six days with skiing:
Day 0: The boat pick you up in Tromsø. Sail to Lyngen alps.Day 1-3: Depending on condition we will most likely be based in the Lyngenfjord and ski one of the more easy accessible peaks of moderate difficulty on the east side of the fjord. The next days we will ski the roadless north-west side of the Lyngenfjord.

Day 4-6. Now we cross the cape of the Lyngen Peninsula and work our way southward in the Ullsfjord. The peaks here are generally steeper. We hope to ski the highest peak of Lyngen, the icecap covered Jiekkevarri on day 4 or 5. After the final day of skiing we will take you back to Tromsø (hotel is optional). On the trip in April we might also spot the northern light.

Senja Island

If you book as a group you might choose this alternative instead of Lyngen. This pristine island lies south of Tromsø and is covered in granite needles. On they way there we will pass the Kvaløya Island, where we also will earn a few turns the first day. The following days we will spend exploring the Senja Mountains, some of the days also with a minivan. The peaks here are among the most alpine in Norway, but there are plenty of opportunities for nice skiable slopes.
