Norwegian Ski and Sail in Lyngen
Finmark and the Lyngen Alps are regions with thousands of opportunities to ski. It is not one mountain, but countless. This areas has a direct connection with the sea and the weather plays a great role in where we will ski when you are aboard. And as the forecast itself, which is only reliable for a day or two, plays the main role in where we set our course.
What we can promise is that you will ski in uninhabited areas with the backcountry for ourselves. To set an itinerary months before departure is simply not possible as the guides point out the optimal route based on the weather from the days and weeks before. And rest assured, our IMFGA certified guides are local and knows the region and should be able to find us some fluffy powder between the pointy peaks and uninhabited fjords. This area is also very rich in fish, so expect to get served some fresh catch during your week and remember that it is always a big chance to see the northern lights.
But our ski and sail trip isn't just about the skiing. As your hosts, we are committed to providing you with an exceptional experience.
