The Lyngen Alps of northeastern Norway is world renown as a skier’s paradise with huge lines that plunge all of the way down to the fjords.
Starting in Tromsø, we will travel about two hours east by van to a well-appointed ski house which will be our base of operations.
Located high above the Arctic Circle at 69° north, the Lyngen Alps share many similarities with the famed Valdez skiing in Alaska.
