Description

This spectacular 8-day ski touring program in the Lyngen Alps is a once in a lifetime experience! Polar lights and amazing sea views make this a truly unique expedition.

The Lyngen Alps Massif is close to 90 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide. Located in northeastern Norway, it is extremely hilly and, therefore, perfect for ski touring! This Arctic paradise offers routes for all levels—from easy scenic tours to demanding freeride descents—all starting at sea level.

Each day brings a new adventure through untouched terrain and breathtaking views. After skiing, unwind in cozy, renovated “rorbuer” cabins—traditional fishermen’s huts blending comfort with local charm.

Perfect for groups, freeriders, and nature lovers, this trip promises raw beauty, thrilling descents, and lasting memories in the heart of Arctic Norway.

    Details

    Disclaimer

    The 5-day itinerary is subject to change depending on snow conditions, weather, and the skill levels of the participants. While the ski tours generally do not involve major technical difficulties—with daily elevation gains ranging from about 700 to 1,600 meters—some short summit sections may require the use of crampons, and ski crampons (rampant) will be used regularly.

    Participants should also be prepared for communal living and shared responsibilities such as meal preparation, as accommodations will be in large houses with shared spaces.
