Backcountry Skiing

What you'll do

This trip is a week-long adventure from and to Tromsø, combining skiing on majestic peaks with sailing along Norway’s stunning northern coastline. This advanced tour explores the Lyngen Alps, Finnmark’s glaciated peaks, and remote mountains like Kågen and the Øksfjord peninsula, offering unique, raw, and wild experiences. Participants sail 3–5 hours daily to new ski destinations, enjoying untouched snow, stable spring conditions, and bright Arctic evenings, perfect for making new friends and tackling thrilling descents in breathtaking scenery.

Itinerary

Day 1 - All aboard: Meet and Set Sail

Welcome on board! We meet at the dock in Tromsø at 4 PM, settle into the boat and get to know each other. Before we hoist sails, we familiarize ourselves with the boat and equipment, and go through safety routines. We leave Tromsøsundet and Grøtsundet already on the first evening on our way to the first anchorage. We prepare supper when we have cast off, but please eat dinner before attendance if possible.

Day 2 - First ski tour!

After an early breakfast, we take the dinghy to land and the adventure’s first skitour! We are aiming for some of the peaks on our way north from Tromsø for this day. Where we have nice options both on Ringvassøya and Reinøya. Or perhaps Ullstinden at 1093mt will be the first peak of the trip! After skiing, we sail towards Lyngen and anchor or moor in a suitable place for a new peak the next morning.

Day 3-4 - North-Lenangen and the Lyngen penisula

The northern tip of the Lyngen peninsula and the surrounding islands, is a great starting point for several of the good peaks here. Weather, conditions and our ambitions onboard determine which trips we choose these days. We will explore beautiful fjords and mountains around this area. If the skipper’s in a good mood, maybe she’ll drop you off in one fjord and pick you up in the next!

Day 5-6 - Kågen, Arnøya or Vannøya

The islands around the Lyngen peninsula itself are just as spectacular. And here we find even less visited bays, fjords and mountains. These islands are understandably easiest to reach by boat, what we are here for at Ski & Sail!

Day 7 - Last summit and return to Tromsø

Last day of skiing, where we find a suitable peak on our way towards Tromsø. We have good alternatives on Ringvassøya or Reinøya on the way into Grøtsundet. After a few good hours of skiing in the morning, we head for Tromsø. On our way to the harbor we pack our things, clean up and wash ourselves out of the boat. We dock and end the trip in Tromsø at 4 PM latest. Thank you for a wonderful experience and welcome again next time!

Extraordinaire. Une expérience transcendante pour ma part. Aussi bien le skippeur, que le guide étaient irréprochables, d’un point du vue humain et d’un point de vue pro. Je recommande+++
