Description
Discover the wild beauty that lives in the Arctic and spend a week on a multi-sport expedition in the Lyngen Alps! Winter is not only about skiing, so we invite you to enjoy a wide variety of polar activities together with your family or friends.
Under the guidance of seasoned professionals with an in-depth local knowledge, you will be taking part in ski touring, snowshoeing, ice climbing, sea fishing and dogsledding activities for full immersion in the unique Norwegian landscape!
During this week, you will be staying at our comfy, warm and fully equipped apartments at the Lyngen Outdoor Center, with breathtaking views. So after a long and rewarding day, you can relax at the sauna, and maybe even admire the polar lights!
The Lyngen Alps are located in Northern Norway, set across Scandinavian islands in the Norwegian Sea. In an area that is often associated with the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun, the Lyngen Alps are also a vast and diverse landscape that is home to remarkable skiing conditions, world-class sea fishing, and frozen adventures of every shape and size.
Your program is designed to give you a taste of the winter sports of northern Scandinavia. The all-inclusive program lets us handle the logistics while you focus on having a fun, relaxing, and completely satisfying experience.
Based out of comfortable lodging on the island of Uloya, we propose a standard itinerary of 4 days with an IFMGA guide to do ski touring, ice climbing, snowshoeing, and to practice survival and safety techniques. And the 2 remaining days will be devoted to dogsledding (1/2 day), sea fishing and snow hole building.
The itinerary can be totally adapted depending on the group’s experience and objectives. So it can fit you if you are together with your family aiming to have fun and relax, if you want to try for the first time many different winter activities, or if you are experienced and want to challenge yourself in an amazing environment. So let us know what you are looking for in your trip and we will tailor it specifically for you and your group.
Each night will be spent in the relaxing and delightful accommodations on Uloya. Unwind in comfort while preparing for your next day out in the Arctic and rehashing the exciting memories you just made.
Book this unforgettable all-inclusive winter sports program NOW and take your talents to the Lyngen Alps for a week of guided activities in the gorgeous Arctic of Norway!

About the guide
The Lyngen Outdoor Center is located in Norway´s far north, in the eastern part of the island of Uløya.
Located just 500km beyond the Arctic circle and surrounded by stunning fjords (including the famous Lyngen fjord), Uløya is a dream setting to practice a wide range of activities (ski touring, climbing and hiking are an every day occurrence here).
The Lyngen Outdoor Center team is made up of IFMGA-certified guides and outdoor lovers only. We are skiers, climbers and anglers. Our expeditions have taken us all around the world, including Himalaya, the Tian Shan Range, Patagonia, Madagscar and Mali, to name a few. We created this place to share our knowledge and passion with you.
You won't have trouble finding us: the only route on this part of the island leads straight to us. You can take a ferry to get here or we can pick you up in our "water taxi".
Our very comfortable apartments are located just 50 meters away from the water line. They offer everything you'll need for a skiing or fishing trip with your friends, including a drying room. Our boats are some of the most modern in all of the Lyngen area and a large sized pier is located just 50m away from your accommodation.
Come explore the unbelievable Arctic. We'll be happy to welcome you!

Uloya is a trip of a lifetime. You find surreal beauty, natural elements at their chore where sea, mountains and skies confound, and shared passion from the hosts. Our guide Pavel was super professional and friendly. Artur, the main host loves to share his passion for nature, sport and good food. Explore Share was top class as they integrated our demand for an outdoor expedition very well and drafted out this incredible option very quickly. Easy access for follow up made us feel just good. Go for it.

Whoua!!! Une superbe semaine ski de randonnée à Uloya et les environs avec Lyngen Outdoor Center ! Artur et son équipe nous ont super bien accueillis. En plus du ski de randonnée, on a essayé la pêche dans les fjords. Je recommande vivement si vous cherchez un spot tranquille avec une superbe vue pour vous évader pour du ski de randonnée!

We had a wonderful trip and were spoiled by all people over there, Artur was a great organizer and treated us like friends, Marcin was a perfect guide and always helpful and friendly, Pawel was the perfect cook who spoiled us with delicious food, Mike drove us everywhere and gave us always a save feeling, and also the other helping hands were all friendly and lovely. We hast a great time. Also the house was perfect for us and very nicely designed. The side program very good and also there the guides and staff friendly. Ding sledge touring was effectively too short for the price, but it was nevertheless beautiful. Snowscooters as well and the day on the water by boat a perfect break! So, all in whole a perfect holiday thanks to the professional and friendly staff!

Sublime experience ! Although the beauty had been well telegraphed by my predecessor friends, I was still astonished by the beauty of the pristine landscape and nature. Facing a slope covered in snow while being surrounded by fjords is the best combination of colors and drasticity at the same time. The local team headed by Artur is exceptionally efficient, always coordinated night and day, and very competent. The fact that Artur lives on site is particularly helpful. A couple of notes to future visitors: (1) always go where Artur tells you (he knows where the good spots, finessed based on the local conditions), and (2) go with the boat and dingy, and start the ascent from the beach, at least once on your stay. Our guide David Pellissier from Aosta was a great resource and companion: very safe, straight-shooter, and always tuned to the group\'s wishes and pace.

Breathtaking, awestruck, unforgettable are the first words that come to my mind after this trip in Uloya. I had some of the best ski rides of my life. Perfect slopes, fresh powder from summit to the sea and the sun setting on the Lyngen Alps. Am I in Valhalla? Pawel our guide quickly proved to be more than an experienced guide but a friend, always eager to share his love and respect for the mountains. Excellent at reading the aspiration and fitness of the group, he kept us challenged without unnecessary risks. His knowledge of the area can transform the worst whiteout into a fun and pleasurable experience. I warmly recommend this trip to all adventurous skiers. But maybe I should keep this place a secret, so it stays as it is, with entire mountains to myself and the Nordic gods...

The trip to Uloya was the most extraordinary i have been on. Now having recounted it more than a hundred times, my shorthand is that it\'s an Arctic island-hopping ski-touring expedition. After that photos and drone videos have to take over, since words tend to fail... It is the ultimate getaway. You are in awe of the beauty of the Arctic elements. The scenery changing from eerie monochromatic to high pigment blue; from harsh to benign. While stunning and other-worldly to look at, this could have been quite daunting to commit to on long 6 hour days in the wilderness. But our guide, Pawel magically got it right each time, planning each day in tune with the elements, setting the right expectations for what actually transpired. He was calm, kind, and inspired an incredible appreciation and energy in our group, which kept building over the course of the week. By the end of it, the energy was such that even Pawel couldn\'t help grinning ear to ear, same as us! One month later I still find myself day-dreaming of Uloya... I don\'t think I will ever forget the feeling of being there.

I fell in love with the far north on my first trip to Lyngen a few years ago - it\'s a magical place that combines a uniquely inspirational and rewarding mountaineering experience. For my second trip to the area I wanted to share the experience with a wider group of friends, some of whom had limited touring experience. With this in mind I went on Explore & Share to find the perfect guide for our holiday. They put me in touch with Pawel, who is based in Oslo and skies Lyngen very regularly. His extensive knowledge of the area was really helpful in weighing up various accommodation options across the region, and we decided to go for one of his trusted bases on Uløya. I was initially somewhat concerned about the additional logistics involved in reaching and being based on an island and how this would influence skiing possibilities. In fact Uløya provides at least as many opportunities to reach the summits that offer the best skiing / view combinations than a base on the mainland would - either by boat, car (the team have a van based on the mainland a short boat ride away), or on foot directly on the island. It is a little bit further to get to than certain other bases but a beautiful place and fantastic base to explore the surrounding mountain ranges (incl. great tours on the island itself) - and quite frankly the extra travel hour makes no difference by the time you\'ve reached the arctic circle. In Pawel we found a truly fantastic guide. He was patient and insightful, continuously reading and adapting to the team\'s experience, mood and energy levels to ensure we always had a great time. He was very supportive with the less experienced amongst us and made everyone feel very safe. He also knows the area so well he could find the one mountain that can be skied at pace in a full whiteout (it has an uncannily smooth 25 degree face) whilst somehow finding us fresh powder to ski 7 days in a row. We had so much fun with Pawel that we\'ve started planning next year\'s trip to Georgia with him!

Skiing in Norway was the most spectacular experience of my life! The nature and the sceneries are just unreal. Imagine infinite beautiful mountains towering high over the deep blue sea. On top of the breathtaking nature, Pawel (our guide) and his team were incredibly welcoming and made sure everything was perfect throughout the week. They really went out of their way to make sure everyone felt at ease. Pawel is an excellent guide. He makes you feel completely safe and has excellent knowledge of the area. He would adapt our days to the weather conditions, making sure we always get the best experience. I highly recommend this trip and especially our great guide Pawel, without whom the experience would definitely not have been as amazing.
