Description

Whether you are taking your first steps into splitboarding or you are an experienced rider, this trip is for you!

The Lyngen Alps (1,833m) are a mountain range in the northeast of the Troms county, in Norway. It dominates the Lyngen Peninsula, stretching over 90 kilometers north to south, along the western shore of the Lyngen fjord.

The Lyngen Alps are one of the top ski touring and splitboarding destinations in the world. They feature outstanding backcountry terrain for all levels. Therefore, I will adapt our trip’s itinerary to guests’ skill level, prior splitboarding experience, and preferences.

During our 8-day journey, we will traverse across the Lyngen Alps’ almost-untouched slopes that stretch down to the sea, blue glaciers, glacial rivers, and deep valleys, enjoying stunning views along the way! We will climb some of the most magnificent peaks in the peninsula, including Daltinden (1,533m), Sorfjelltinden (1,468m), Kavringtinden (1,289m), Storgalten (1,219m), Middagstinden (1,072m), Rassecarri (1,166m), and Stetinden (920m).

At this time of the year, we will probably be lucky to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), the bright natural lights that ignite the night sky in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Splitboarding under this magical show of lights will be a memorable experience!

This program is open to everyone, from newcomers to advanced riders. I will take a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 6. However, if a larger group is interested, an assistant guide will join us.

Don’t miss this unique splitboarding adventure in the remote Lyngen Alps! Send me your booking request now.

In case you are interested, I also offer a ski touring version of this program. If you are considering similar activities in other European countries, check out the splitboarding tours I lead in Carros de Foc (Spain), Kola Peninsula (Russia), and Fagaras Mountains (Romania).

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 !"
