Ski and Sail in the Lyngen alps - Northern Norway
Ski and sail at 70° north inside the Arctic Circle in northern Norway. Snow capped mountains rising straight from the sea and nordic daylight provides perfect conditions for both skiing and sailing.
Our mobile base camp for this ski expedition is a 47ft sailing yacht, from where we explore mountains on the Lyngen peninsula and its surrounding islands.
Glaciers, solitude and perfectly shaped peaks for skiing surrounded by the sea on all sides make the Lyngen alps a very unique ski-location, and one of the worlds most beautiful settings for ski touring and ski mountaineering. The spring in northern Norway frequently offers excellent snow conditions, nice weather for climbing peaks, and the chance to admire the mystic beauty of Northern Lights at night.
With summits between 800 and 1834 meters of altitude, our average daily ascents will range from 1000 to 1400hm straight from sea level. From the wide open glacier slope, to winding gullies and steep couloirs, you find it all. The Lyngen alps offer a perfect playground for all level of off-piste skiers and ski mountaineers.

Ski Touring from sea side house in Lyngen
