The Lyngen peninsula is located above the Arctic Circle, latitude 69N and 70N.
It has stupendous scenery, with glaciers between vertical snow-covered peaks reaching 1’800m. Mid-March to early May allow for balanced conditions and accessibility, with excellent snow coverage and quality provided by the Northern Latitudes and milder weather conditions – temperature and visibility wise – than earlier in the season.

Terrain, ability and who it is for
- The Lyngen peninsula and the numerous islands around it, combined with the flexibility of being based on a sailboat, offer an endless choice of unmarked powder skiing domains overlooking the deep blue fjords.
- For ski-mountaineering, the peaks range between 800 and 1’500m, scattered between the Lyngen peninsula and a variety of islands, with typical ascents from 4 to 9km, 4 to 8 hours.
- Slope angles are mostly below 25-30 degree over glacier plateaus, but we can reach as much as 40 degrees and deep powder if we opt for gorges and the steeper lines.
