Day by day
The days below are the operator's Tromsø round-trip program. Some departures run one way between Tromsø and Alta; the operator does not publish a separate itinerary for those.
- Day 1: EMBARKATION AND DEPARTURE FROM TROMSØWe meet at 4:00 PM at Tromsø’s pier to board our Arctic sailboat. After check-in, we present the ski touring plan for Lyngen, safety rules on board, and handling of the technical equipment. With sails hoisted, we sail through the Tromsøsundet and Grøtsundet straits heading to our first anchorage. Upon arrival, dinner is served on board (it’s advisable to have eaten something beforehand to make the most of the time).Accommodation: SailboatMeals: dinner
- Day 2: FIRST ASCENT – ROUTE TO THE NORTHWe wake up early, have breakfast, and disembark on the tender boat to begin the first day of ski touring in Norway. Depending on conditions, we target peaks in Ringvassøya or Reinøya, or perhaps the iconic Ullstinden (1,093 m) as our first goal. After the descent, we sail toward the Lyngen Peninsula and anchor in a sheltered cove to be ready for the next morning.Accommodation: SailboatMeals: breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner
- Day 3: NORTHERN LIGHTS – FJORDS AND PANORAMIC PEAKSWe fully enter the alpine landscape of Nord-Lenangen, at the northern tip of Lyngen. From our anchorage, we choose the safest and most attractive mountain based on the weather forecast: options like Fastdalstinden or Storgalten offer views of the frozen fjords. In the afternoon, we sail through narrow channels, spotting northern lights if the sky is clear.Accommodation: SailboatMeals: breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner
- Day 4: SECOND DAY IN THE LYNGEN PENINSULAWith the first Arctic light, we head out to another classic descent line, perhaps Rørnestinden (1,041 m) or a couloir on Tafeltinden. The captain can drop us off in one fjord and pick us up in the next, optimizing the “ski-in/ski-out” traverse directly to the boat. Night anchored beneath snowy peaks.Accommodation: SailboatMeals: breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner
- Day 5: ISLA DE KÅGEN – NIEVE VIRGEN Y SOLEDADWe head west to Kågen Island, less frequented but incredibly alpine. Its continuous slopes allow chaining multiple powder snow descents. Exploring these fjords accessible only by boat is the essence of the Ski & Sail concept in Lyngen.Accommodation: SailboatMeals: breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner
- Day 6: ARNØYA OR VANNØYA – THE ARCTIC’S SECRET JEWELSDepending on the avalanche report, we choose Arnøya (peaks like Arnøyhøgda, 1,170 m) or Vannøya for another day of remote ski touring. These islands offer open slopes with ocean views and zero crowds. We toast on board for the last night in the Norwegian fjords.Accommodation: SailboatMeals: breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner
- Day 7: LAST SUMMIT AND RETURN TO TROMSØWe take advantage of the morning to climb one last summit in Ringvassøya or Reinøya while heading back to Tromsø. After the final snowy turns, we hoist the sails towards the harbor. At 4:00 PM, we disembark, clean up, and say goodbye. Thank you for sharing this ski touring and sailing adventure in Lyngen with us!
