Lyngen in Norway – the most beautiful ski touring

Far up in Northern Norway you will find a peninsula called Lyngen. On this peninsula, as well as the surrounding islands, a series of beautiful mountains rise out of the sea and form wonderful conditions for ski touring. The view over the fjords is indescribable and the shape of the mountains offers wonderful skiing!

We have had the privilege of bringing guests from many different countries to this wonderful place. A couple of years ago we had guests from Italy, they loved Lyngen and called it "The best ski touring in the whole world". Something we sign up to without hesitation!

Program for the week

The following is a preliminary schedule that may change depending on snow conditions, weather and wind.

Day 1, Sunday

We start in Tromsö where we meet you at the airport and then travel by minibus towards Lyngen.

Day 2, Monday

We do our first tour day in the heart of Lyngen on one of the peaks near Lyngseidet. Whichever mountain we choose, there will be many "wow" and "oh, beautiful!". Get your camera ready, this is one of the world's most beautiful places!

Day 3, Tuesday

“Storgalten”(The big boar). It may not sound so charming, but it is a very beautiful mountain. 1200 meters high with skiing straight down to the fjord. Take a look at our pictures and you will understand what we mean.

Day 4, Wednesday

We're getting warm in our clothes and maybe it's time to do a longer trip, for example exploring “Tamokdalen”. It is not actually on Lyngen, but is a nice valley to go into if the weather is unsettled closer to the coast.

Day 5, Thursday

If there is interest, we can take a ferry to one of the islands around Lyngen. In the area there are hundreds of nice tops to choose from!

Day 6-7, Friday & Saturday

Fifth and sixth day on skis and the legs are starting to get a little tired. We continue to explore the peaks and the environment around Lyngen and adapt today's tour to the group's ability and wishes.

Day 8, Sunday

Last day and time to travel home. We try to synchronize the transfer in terms of time so that all guests catch their respective flights home.
