Ski and sail tour in the Lyngen Alps, Norway

You have to fly to Tromsø Airport, Langnes. The ARRIVAL DATE and TIME has to be Saturday (first day of the trip) no later than 12:00pm (noon), or Friday (day earlier, any time).

The departure destination is also Tromsø Airport, Langnes, and your departure flight should be Saturday -last day of the trip- any time (breakfast is served on the boat at 8:00 am), or Friday (day earlier) after 21pm.

If you have problems finding a flight that would fit this schedule, please get in touch, we can organize extra nights in Tromsø.

In case you arrive before the start of the camp, or stay a few days after, we recommend choosing one of the following hotels for the extra nights: Hotel Viking Tromso or Clarion Hotel Aurora. They are both experienced in receiving guests from our trips.

During the trip, we will stay on the boat. We hire the boat from a local charter company with a long history and skippers with good knowledge of the area. It is a comfortable 47-foot or 50-foot long yacht with 5 cabins and 3-4 bathrooms + showers with a common area and kitchen. There are both twin rooms (with bunk beds) and double rooms. Keep in mind that accommodation is in shared rooms, and they might be mixed.

Lyngen fjords are calm waters so seasickness is generally not an issue on our trips. In 5 years of making the trips, there were only a handful of clients with mild and short sea sickness.

We will meet at BOREAL YACHTING marina in Eidkjose (address: Eidvegen 666, 9100 Kvaløysletta, map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Boreal+Yachting/@69.6735166,18.7465569,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x45c4c70081f50c27:0x1c025e8869250ac7!8m2!3d69.6729986!4d18.74605?hl=en).

Around 2 days before the trip we will send you an email with an invitation to a WhatsApp group and also inform you about meeting time in the marina (if everyone is arriving on time, it should be early afteroon, we will confirm in the email).

From the airport, your can take either a taxi or bus.

TAXI: Best arranged just by walking to the car park in front of the airport and asking Tromsø Taxi (T logo on the door). Go to BOREAL YACHTING marina in Eidkjosen (address: Eidvegen 666, 9100 Kvaløysletta).

BUS: Very straighforward option. Much cheaper. Take bus number 42 to Eidkjosen and walk around 8 minutes to the marina.

Bus stop is located on the side closer to the airport. You will need Troms Billett app (available to download for apple or android).

Yes. We strongly recommend it.

If you are flying with an airbag you will need to print IATA terms (https://www.iata.org/contentassets/6fea26dd84d24b26a7a1fd5788561d6e/dgr-62-en-2.3a.pdf) and Description of your cartridge (you will find it on the brand's website) and show it to airport stuff upon check-in luggage scan.

Bring your avalanche bag as Carry-On and ideally inform your airline, that you will be transporting such airbag. Do not leave your backpack as check in luggage. You'll run the risk of having it detained during transport.

Yes. In case you need to borrow some equipment, we recommend you to do it with Tromso Outdoors.
