WHY "SKI&SAIL SKI TOURS LYNGEN ALPS"?
Ski&Sail in the Lyngen Alps near Tromsö, mountains and sea in a breathtaking combination with a luxurious catamaran and touring skis.
Sailing and ski touring in the north of Norway around the Lyngen Alps is a particularly intense double adventure, but you don't have to do without comfort and luxury. The "Arctic Eagle" is an elegant boat and lies calmly in the waters of the fjords; it is our floating hotel for setting off on new ski touring adventures every day. The Lyngen Alps are a ski touring paradise and are now known worldwide among ski touring enthusiasts. However, the best tours can only be reached by boat, so we have the chance of real and lonely ski touring adventures. We know our way around up here and offer a new dream tour every day.
The local crew and the captain are waiting for us in the port of Tromsö. Captain Hakon is an Arctic-tested and experienced local sailor who has worked for many years fishing in the Barents Sea and Spitsbergen. From Tromsö we set sail for the Lyngen Alps, where we will spend a week exploring the most beautiful ski tours in the area. On the boat you have even more contact with nature and the sea. You will sleep comfortably in one of the 4 double cabins with private WC and shower. The spacious, cozy lounge is our living room and you have the opportunity to fish at any time. Porpoises often cross our path and sea eagles hunt for prey.
Breathtaking Lyngen landscape
The Lyngen Alps, as the mountain ranges on a peninsula east of Tromsø are called, are becoming increasingly popular. The Lyngen ski touring area is one of the most alpine areas in Scandinavia, with steep and high mountains that drop directly into the sea. The highest peaks reach almost 1800 m and are glaciated. Comparisons with the Alps are almost inevitable.
The location is so unique that some ski tours can be reached directly from the fjord. The ascent of untouched slopes often begins on the beach, to a steep peak which can hardly be guessed. Enjoy a breathtaking adventure between the mountains and the ocean!
