Ski touring off the beaten path

Based on our 8 seasons long experience touring in Norway we created what we think is the best of various worlds: breathtaking tours and views in Lyngen, rugged island of Senja, world class touring playground in Tamokdalen and off the beaten path tours around our hut in Malselv.

If the group is up for it we can even throw in a speed boat access to a nearby island and spend a day on isolated Kagen Island.

A great highlight of this trip is our accommodation which is a typical Norwegian log with a history. Nestled in a remote location, far from the rush and hustle. It is an ideal place to recharge your batteries.

Details

Terrain

Lyngen Alps is the place to go freeriding if you are looking for powder in Scandinavia. It is tucked into the mainland so the snow is drier than in other areas. Our mission will be to ski a variety of backcountry terrain – powdery open lines, ocean runs, and classic lines in the area.
We will also take a look at the rugged island of Senja, the world-class touring playground in Tamokdalen and off the beaten path tours around our hut in Malselv. Options are limitless and we will adjust the itinerary to your needs and current weather and avalanche conditions.

Vertical Meters

On this trip, we will ski in secluded places only accessed by ski touring or split boarding. Expect around 1000 – 1200 vert. m daily within 6 days.

Who is it for?

You should have previous ski touring or splitboarding experience (at least 3 tours). You should be able to cover at least 1000 vert. m. daily for 3 days straight. 1 day off is definitely a possibility, more than that would likely hinder your experience.

Group size

We will be a maximum of 6 guests guided by a certified guide.

Expert skiers and riders

Our classic ski touring trip is mostly open lines with some tree-skiing. For expert skiers only we put together an alternative around the most iconic steep lines and couloirs in Lyngen. To name a few, there is Forhorlttinden, nicknamed “The Godmother of all couloirs”. Sofiatinden or Trolvastinden. Crossing the Lyngen peninsula with an amazing downhill around Storgalten is also possible.

Those lines are around 40 to 45 degrees. Safety is the priority for us. If the conditions are not right, our UIAGM guide has more conservative option for each day.
