Description

I invite you to a fantastic ski touring experience, surrounded by the magical Northern Lights scenery and all the stillness and special atmosphere of the Lyngen Alps.

You have the option of joining me for 1 or more days of ski touring, starting in the village of Lyngseidet, in Troms county, Northern Norway.  The Lyngen Alps offer a wide diversity of terrain, together with the beautiful fjords landscape and untouched powder.

I will choose the ski touring objectives depending on the best snow conditions. Also, I will take into account the best chances to watch the fascinating Northern Lights as they dance across the sky. Of course, the tour can be tailored to your wishes, skill level and time available!

We don’t need to start early since we want to be out in the dark, but you will need a good head torch, of 500 lumens minimum.

If you want to be part of this ski tour, you need to have basic ski touring experience. Also, you need to be in good shape.

Mountain Guide

I am an IFMGA mountain guide, originally from southern Finland. However, I have spent most of my time since 2010 in Northern Norway.

Completely in love with the scenery, nature, culture and the atmosphere, I'm spending as much time as possible exploring the mountains; be it on skis, climbing (summer/winter/alpine/ice&rock), mountain biking, kayaking or just hiking. Without being an expert in any particular one of these fields, my strength lies in finding the right adventure for the day, and spicing it up with local knowledge and the understanding of nature!

Needless to say, my main focus is to provide safe trips regardless of conditions and appropriate for participants' previous experience.
As it is in Scandinavian guiding tradition in general, I always try to teach my guests something!

I'm traveling quite a bit, a lot in Northern Norway and a bit in the mountains further away. My home base is in Lyngen, especially in the winter, but my home mountains extend from here to all the way to the Stetind area south of Narvik, including Lofoten, Senja and Kvaløya.

I'm guiding fluently in five languages: English, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and German, et mon France est un peu primitives.

We had a really great time with Fredrik you was very knowledgeable and helpful and also very flexible. We can definitely recommend going on tour with him. The only small citicism (which is really too strong a word here) is that it would be nice to receive more info planned tour in more detail beforehand, but most likely we would just have needed to ask more directly. Definitely a thumbs up from us!

Jerome

Fredrik guided us to a very nice location around Lyngseidet for ski touring. We had a chance to see nothern lights during ascent !! He knows very well the Lyngen Alps region and the tour was well fitted to our expectations and ski skills. We definitely recommand to do ski tours with him. Lilie & Jerome
