In the far north of Norway, the Lyngen Peninsula and its surrounding islands are home to towering mountains that rise straight from the ocean, creating a stunning landscape perfect for ski touring. With breathtaking fjord views and dramatic peaks, the area offers some of the best backcountry skiing imaginable.
To make this adventure even more unique, we invite you to stay aboard a spacious sailing boat, which serves as both accommodation and transport between ski tours. This immersive experience brings you closer to nature, letting you wake up to new peaks each day. We sail through the fjords, skin up the mountains under our own power, and enjoy thrilling descents on untouched slopes.
If you’re looking for the ultimate combination of adventure, nature, and unforgettable skiing, this is it. Join us for a ski & sail journey like no other!
You arrive in Tromsö, we meet and the skipper welcomes us aboard. The boat is in Tromsö harbour and easily accessed by bus transfer from the airport. When all are on-board we leave Tromsö for Vanöya and Arnöya. After 5-6 hours of sailing we will arrive at the harbour where the first night will be spent. Check in on the boat from 4 pm.
Our first tour day will offer several pleasant, easier tour options on Vanöya and Arnöya (situated side by side). We start off quite easy to get an impression of the group. Today we will make 600-700 meters vertical. When we return from the tour the boat is waiting for us and after a coffee break we will move on to Ulvyöa, about 3-4 hours sailing. In the evenings you have the possibility to go fishing, from the boat or by taking the dinghy for a spin.
Today's tour crosses the island Ulvöya. We start from our morning position, hike up the mountain and ski down on the other side. We will arrive in Hamnäs where the boat meets up and we can fill up our provisions. The night will be spent in the harbour.
When we wake up in Hanmäs we have several tour options. We can go straight up from the harbour, or start the day by sailing two hours to Koppangen. When coming down to the boat we only have 1,5 hour sailing to Lyngseidet where we have dinner and spend the night.
Lyngseidet is the biggest society on the peninsula of Lyngen. Today's tour options are Rörnestinden rising 1041 meters above sea level or Kavringtinden 1289 meters vertical. Both peaks give you a wonderful view over the ocean both on the eastern and western side of Lyngen. The afternoon sailing takes us to the northern side of Lyngen where we dock in Norlenangen.
Storgalten, "The big pig", despite its name, a beauty rising straight up from the harbour and is our given goal for today. With a vertical of 1219 meters it offers great skiing. In the afternoon we sail to Åldervika.
Last tour day for this week. We have the beautiful Ulltind before us, yet another great skiing experience with a sea view. The tour starts in Olderdalen and ends on the other side of the mountain in Snarby where the boat will be waiting for us. Today's sailing will take us back to Tromsö. It is about three hours sailing. The last night will be spent in the harbour close to Tromsö.
Time to go home. Check out from the boat at 11.00 am. If you like you can extend your trip and stay extra nights in Tromsö.
