Description

The Lyngen Alps are a gorgeous, breathtaking range of slopes and peaks. It is a winter wonderland. And on this 3 day winter activities package, we have designed the perfect adventure for those people that want to see and do as much as they possibly can in the Lyngen Alps, while also getting to enjoy the comforts of a full board, wonderful lodge.

There are 2 different activities we offer to guests on the 3 day package. They include a dog sledding journey and a frozen lakes adventure. Necessary clothing and lunch are provided for both activities.

The dog sledding journey lasts approximately 5 hours, 1.5 hours of which is spent dog sledding. We will take a 30 minute scenic drive to the Resia valley. Once there, we will instruct you how to properly lead a dog sled and "mush" the dogs through the gorgeous winter landscape. Midway through the day, we will stop for an open fire lunch, before concluding the journey, saying good bye to the dogs, and returning to the lodge.

The Frozen lakes adventure lasts 5 hours and involves snowmobiling, snowshoeing and ice fishing. We will visit the high mountain plateau on snowmobile, where the views of the Lyngen Alps are amazing. Afterwards, we will make our way to the the high lake to ice fish. The lake's ice is so thick that you will even be able to start a fire on it and cook your catch!

For anybody that has wanted to comfortably explore and enjoy the Lyngen Alps, this 3 day activities package is for you. Not only will you get to enjoy the amazing activities we have lined up for you during the day, but you will also get to enjoy the unforgettable northern lights every evening as well!

About the guide

Graham

Mountain Leader

I grew up in the north east of England and Scotland until I moved to St.Anton Austria to become both a ski teacher and internationally qualified UIAGM International Mountain Guide, teaching and guiding, skiing, rock and ice climbing and glacier mountaineering.
I set up Piste To Powder Off Piste Skiing in St.Anton Austria which specialises in guided ski adventures with a focus on developing the guests skills in both ski technique and mountain safety. Piste To Powder expanded offering ski adventures to exotic locations around the world from Greenland, Alaska, South America, Russia, Himalayas and Norway. I led these expeditions and loved the combination of wild remote travel and skiing new mountains away from the ski resorts.
The Norwegian program began in 2003 sailing through the fjords and skiing from summit to sea. Amazed by the region of Troms, I bought land and built a lodge to offer guests an all year round base for adventure and comfortable relaxing living in this extraordinary Arctic location. Out of all the many wonderful locations around the world to ski, the Lyngen Alps offered a unique experience found to be second to none.
I'm enthusiastic about mountains and people and driven to deliver a high quality service which will ensure that your visit while at my lodge will be a memorable one.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
