Highlights
Outing Highlights
Jagged alpine ridges above fjords
The trip centers on the dramatic Lyngen Alps and nearby Senja Island—steep, sharp ridgelines that frame fjords and offer outstanding ski‑touring terrain when snow conditions permit.
Local expertise tuned to safety and fun
Tromso Ski Guides bring more than a decade of collective experience guiding in Lyngen and Senja; they use local knowledge to match routes to your group and reduce risk while maximizing good snow time.
Accessible by sea and shore
Guides operate out of both Senja and Lyngen and have experience using boats and lodges; since 2022 a year‑round ferry from Tromsø (Kvaløya) to Senja has made access easier for visiting guests.
