Ski Touring in Lyngen Alps overlooking Norwegian Fjords

Ski touring itineraries which will take us from the sea level to snow-capped peaks: we are at the furthest point of Norway, living an adventure of pure adrenaline among the fjords of Lyngen Alps... and Tromso, the capital of Northern Lights.

A week of ski touring to discover a peculiar environment, whose snowy beaches and sharp mountains overlooking the sea are the main characters. Along with our Mountain Guide we will face challenging climbs and thrilling descents among the Norwegian Fjords.

During your trip, you will stay in two cozy cabins located in a peaceful area along the western side of the Lyngenfjord, in the heart of the Lyngen Alps. Each cabin offers 4 beds in double rooms, with a fully equipped kitchen and a private bathroom. The location is ideal for exploring the stunning surrounding landscapes, with breathtaking views of the Lyngenfjord and the Kåfjord Alps.

A steaming sauna and fresh salmon will be part of our nights, while waiting for the Northern Lights to show up!
