Day 2 to 7: Ski Touring in the Lyngen Alps
Each evening, the guide and group will review the weather, snow conditions, avalanche risk, and possible ski objectives before choosing the best plan for the following day. Many peaks in the area rise above 1,000 meters, with routes often starting close to the shoreline.
Possible objectives include Fastdalstinden, Trolltinden, Storgalten, and other nearby peaks. Depending on the group’s wishes, one evening can also be spent going out for dinner or drinks in Lyngseidet.

Accommodation
In Tromsø, we stay in a cozy cabin in Årøybukt, by the sea and at the foot of the Lyngen Alps. The cabin has 4 bedrooms, a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and an outdoor jacuzzi. Lyngseidet is about 20 minutes away by car.
More info
A good off-piste skiing level and previous ski touring experience are required for this trip. Open weeks are organized by physical and technical level, so solo travelers can join a group with similar ability at no extra cost.
If you are unsure whether your level is suitable, contact us and we will help assess it with you. For skiers looking for steeper terrain, longer routes, or a more challenging experience, we recommend booking privately with a group of friends, ideally at least 4 people.
Private groups can reserve the full cabin for a more personalized trip. Standard groups are usually made up of 6 to 7 clients plus the guide. The final itinerary will always depend on weather, snow conditions, and group level.

What people are saying about B4Experience
Awesome week!! The place, the company, and Núria who gives off such great vibes!!!!
Brutal experience!
An incredible experience led by Nuria Picas, who was excellent in her sporting skills and also demonstrated great knowledge of Montblanc.
100% Recommended! A week-long experience with a group of 15 mountain enthusiasts, led by world-renowned expert Nuria Picas, who stands out not only for her professionalism and talent but also for her warmth and personal touch. She fostered a fantastic atmosphere within the group, making all participants feel included. This activity is highly recommended, both for exploring the Tour du Mont Blanc and for preparing for the UTMB race, as well as for disconnecting for a few days, meeting people with similar interests, and learning from others, which is always incredibly enriching. Special mention must be made of the warm and friendly service from the entire b4experience team, who ensured we had everything we needed so we could focus solely on running and enjoying each day.
The best experience of my life. Superbly organized, Núria Picas gets a 10/10, 100% recommended.
