Day 1: Arrival in Lyngen
We will fly from home to the far north of Norway. We will meet either at the departure airport, when changing planes in Oslo or directly at the airport in Tromsø. Where possible, I will coordinate our flights with each other. We will then pick up our rental car and drive about 1.5 hours to our accommodation on the Lyngen peninsula. Over dinner together, we will put together a great programme for the six touring days ahead, depending on the snow conditions, the group’s ability and the weather.

Days 2-7: Ski touring in Lyngen
We have six days in total to do some truly beautiful ski tours on the Lyngen peninsula. The options are ideal: there are tours of every difficulty, aspect and steepness, and there is also the chance to do some great traverses. We will try to make the most of this area’s potential. Typical of the Lyngen Alps are direct descents with views of the Lyngenfjord and tours that can turn out very differently depending on the conditions.

After the ski tours we will relax in the in-house sauna, and after dinner together, anyone who feels like it can head back out into Lyngen’s wilderness to look out for the mystical Northern Lights. Our chances here really are particularly good, as Lyngen lies at exactly the ideal latitude. After a few days, once we need a break or if the weather doesn’t play along, we will visit Tromsø with its very own Nordic flair.

Day 8: Departure
After seven days in the far north, it is time to say goodbye. One last time we pass the deep-snow-covered mountains of the Lyngen Alps, and one or two fond memories of the past week will come flooding back. From Tromsø, the plane takes us back home and into spring.
