Exciting adventures await you in the beautiful region of Lyngen, a world-class area for ski mountaineering!
The trip includes skiing from mountaintop to the fjord, dog sledding trips in the wilderness, overnight accommodations at Lyngen Experience Lodge, locally sourced food and drink, and not least, warm and friendly people.
If the weather is good, there is also a good chance of seeing the famous Northern Lights.
“Ever since I was in Lyngen a few years back, I have wanted to return to this fantastic area. I can’t wait to experience it again.”
– Amund Rønsåsbjørg –
This is a trip for those who enjoy slalom and randonee skiing. You don’t need to be an expert alpine skier with lots of alpine touring (randonee) experience, but you do need to enjoy a challenge.
We will be climbing many altitude metres on our way up the mountain. So some preparation is necessary.
Our mountaineering excursions vary, and they are adapted according to skill level. One day will be spent on an excursion out in the wilderness by dog sled – a true adventure!
Our overnight accommodation – Lyngen Experience Lodge – is perfectly situated, just a short distance to some of the most beautiful peaks in Lyngen. The lodge has its own restaurant, sauna and a small spa. There is also a lovely terrace with an enchanting view of the fjord and mountains, where we can search for the Northern Lights.
Experienced, certified guides, with in-depth knowledge of the local conditions will accompany you on all mountaineering trips.
Every morning, the guides will brief guests on the day’s activities. Activities will depend on the snow and weather conditions. We will head to the area with the best conditions on that specific day. After the briefing, we’ll pack our equipment and drive to the starting point for the trip.
