What you get in this adventure:
What’s not included:
To enjoy this guided skiing and sailing trip on Norway’s coast, you need to be in very good physical shape. The climbs are between 800 and 1,800 m (2,625 ft – 5,905 ft), after which a nice descent follows. You will be on your feet for multiple hours a day for 6 full days, covering several miles of terrain every day. One long or two short trips are made per day on diverse terrain. You will need to manage controlled descents in variable conditions. All participants should feel comfortable on challenging blue or black-level resort runs and be able to carry a loaded daypack while skinning up variable degrees of terrain.
Due to the varied terrain (wide, narrow, flat, and steep), location, and length of tour, this adventure is suitable for intermediate to advanced backcountry skiers, meaning you need to have previous backcountry skiing experience. You will be skiing, touring, and summiting on glaciated terrain for multiple hours every day. The terrain is very varied and you’ll ski or snowboard across large walls and couloirs. Your guide will take care of the planning, oversee your technique, and teach you how to better manage the terrain. They also have the experience and avalanche training necessary to keep you safe.

Swimming in ice cold water after a day of ski touring. Fresh fish for dinner, straight from the fjord. The trip to the Lyngen Alps really had everything I love in one program. The combination of skiing in an incredibly beautiful Norwegian mountain landscape with views over the fjords and sailing through the fjord in search of the mountain of tomorrow, was unique and challenging.
