- Reviews

Four wonderful days await you in one of Norway's most beautiful mountain areas. Our trip to Lyngen can be summed up by some very basic ingredients: Summits, après-ski, good food, good drinks, and good company. Do you really need anything more?

Highlights

  • Ski in one of the country's finest backcountry skiing mountain ranges
  • Local guide with an abundance of knowledge so that you get safely both up and down the mountain
  • He/she will also take you to the best peaks with the best snow conditions
  • Stay overnight at the lovely Magic Mountain Lodge
  • Sauna in the evening
  • Northern Lights too! (If we are lucky)

Lyngen is a fantastic area for ski touring with alpine peaks and a large number of varied descents for all skill levels. We stay at Magic Mountain Lodge where you are guaranteed to meet like-minded free-riders from all over the world, enjoy home-cooked food, and share stories from the mountains during après-ski.

Which peaks we will conquer will be decided by the guide on the given day to ensure safe and good skiing experiences. Some possible peaks are Rørnestinden (1041 masl), Storgalten (1219), Daltinden (1532), and Rundfjellet (1413). Our guide is certified, has a lot of local knowledge, and last but not least, is an expert in finding innovative routes with good snow conditions. The different day tours will be adapted to the group's skill level.

The trip starts at Magic Mountain Lodge in Lyngen. This place is run by the local couple Henrika and Patrik, two globetrotters who together have created a cozy and welcoming accommodation for like-minded guests.

If necessary, we talk through the use of avalanche equipment as well, so that everybody is set for the first trip.

Day 2:Our first day of skiing

Breakfast is enjoyed at our accommodation, followed by a briefing for the day. A reconnaissance tour will then be conducted so that the guide can get to know each and every one of you. The trip you will do can be experienced as challenging, both in terms of altitude and length, but it will be done in less steep terrain so that your technique can also be tested along the way. This will give both you and your guide a good foundation before tomorrow. The day ends with après ski and dinner at our accommodation.

Day 4:Last descents and goodbye!

It is time to say goodbye to both mountains and people. Before this, we are fortunate enough to be able to squeeze in one last day of skiing so that you are left with both the most possible time in the mountains and also the most possible altitude meters from our stay. We schedule our return so that we are at Tromsø Airport approx. around 5.00 PM.

Accommodation and food

We stay at Magic Mountain Lodge, from which it is a short distance to most of the areas we will go skiing. We sleep in shared rooms with twin beds or a double bed if desired. If you are traveling alone, we will make sure that you share a room with someone of the same sex.

The standard is simple but very nice and traditional. We eat a hearty breakfast, prepare a packed lunch to take with us, and in the evening we have a long and enjoyable dinner together. 

Other information

The easiest way to get to Tromsø is to take a flight within Norway from one of the main cities (Oslo, Bergen, etc), using an airline such as Norwegian og SAS. Please contact us if you need any help with this. From here you can pick up a rental car and drive around 2 hrs to Magic Mountain Lodge.

It is important to check whether the departure is guaranteed or not on our website before booking airline tickets for your trip. For each departure, we must have a minimum number of confirmed participants before we can guarantee the departure.

Testimonial

Jeg hadde aldri vært i Lyngenalpene før, men hadde hørt at snøforholdene ofte kan variere. Guiden vår, Petter, fant puddersnø til oss hver eneste dag. Dette var spesielt imponerende med tanke på de komplekse værsystemene, som ofte endrer seg fra et område til et annet bare 30 minutters kjøretur unna. Vi følte oss aldri utrygge og var hele tiden godt informert om forholdene. Petter var helt fantastisk.
