SKI MOUNTAINEERING


The Experience

 

A week above the Arctic Circle. The Lyngen peninsula, nestled between dramatic fjords and beautiful mountains, is a true ski touring paradise.

Skiing with the impression of diving into the sea. We will combine the unparalleled charm of starting straight from the beach with your skins to conquer peaks that offer breathtaking views, where the descents end just a few meters from the fjord's deep blue waters.

Aboard our exclusive sailing boat, we will sail daily in search of a new anchorage, moving flexibly to find the best snow and the safest conditions for skiing.
