Above the Arctic Circle on an isolated peninsular, the Lyngen Alps offer a dream background for those who appreciate snowy adventures.

Every day we will explore new slopes above the fjords and enjoy breathtaking scenery bathed in the incomparable northern light. Fresh, light powder leads down to a seashore lined with pretty villages and colourfully painted wooden houses.

Our base will be tow old charming sailing ships. They has been re-equipped for cruising in arctic waters! A real floating refuges, they sail every day to a different drop off point. This is the GOX the first week and the ALBARQUEL the second week proposed.

All the climbs begin at sea level and depending on what we feel like doing, they range from 800m to 1700m of ascent.

The sailing takes place in channels formed by the thousands of islands along the Norwegian coast and in the fjords.

This is when you will have the opportunity to relax as you please; resting in your cabin, chatting in the living area, listening to music, cod fishing or taking photos on the bridge… The boat can also drop you off on the shore for an improvised wood-fire BBQ.

At this time of year the Northern Lights are often visible and if we're lucky they will provide a magnificent and unique show.
