Ski touring in Lyngen and Troms
Mountains to fjord
Lyngen offer a breath-taking combination of steep alpine peaks and the sea. Fortunately, it is also a lot of skiable slopes and glaciers in the mountains. 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 skills.
If Lyngen is too busy for your liking, we can explore the islands of Troms. These include the Kvaløya island west of Tromsø, and Senja island two hours to the south, both easily accessible by car. Or we can go by boat and ski the pristine , alpine islands north east and north west of Lyngen. Read more about the region here.
You can book our Ski & Sail experience or you can book one of our guides for one or several days. These might include a mix of minivan and boat for access.
Local and highly qualified guides
All Breogfjell Mountain Guides are qualified IFMGA Mountain Guides (called “Tindevegledere” in Norwegian). They also know the area like their own pocket. For ski mountaineering we only use IFMGA certified guides or aspirant guides.
