Senja, Norway's second largest island that seems to be forgotten and hides in between the classic destinations of Lofoten and Tromsö. We think that's a shame! Such a magical place that offers such good and varied skiing?! Of course we're going there!
Senja is our little gem. With the Atlantic and fjords as a view, we find peaks between 600-1100m above sea level. No extreme altitude meters you think, no.. Not directly. But all tours start at sea level, so thanks to that the rides are surprisingly long. If you are not satisfied with just one tour, we can always go up two, three or four times per day. Your strength and daylight are the only things that set the limits.
The advantage of Senja is, of course, that few people have found their way here, but also the variety and all the choices when it comes to skiing. Everything from large open snowfields and narrow steep chutes to skiing in sparse forests. As the icing on the cake, we avoid everything called approach!
We adapt the program according to the group's expectations and abilities. Senja has something for everyone!
