Ski Touring in Senja, Tamok and Lyngen

Arrive in Tromsø and check into your hotel.

We recommend arriving in Tromsø on Saturday for your first night. If your flight schedule doesn't allow for this, you can find additional accommodation. We're happy to suggest some places if you need help!

After pick-up, we’ll head straight into our first tour in the Lyngen Alps on the way to our log cabin accommodation in Målselv. We’ll choose from various options, taking into account the avalanche forecast, snow conditions, and wind direction.

Senja, located between Lofoten and Tromsø, is a true Norwegian gem, known for its dramatic coastlines, towering peaks, and charming fishing villages. Often referred to as ‘Miniature Norway,’ the island offers a stunning mix of landscapes that embody the essence of the country.

We’ll time our visit to catch the best weather window, aiming for a summit-to-sea descent with spectacular views of Senja’s coastline. Most of the peaks we’ll climb are around 900 meters high, and depending on the group’s preferences, we can add more summits or repeat laps on a single peak.

Tamokdalen, also known as Tamok Valley, is a 30-kilometer stretch in Troms, Norway, with a valley floor at 200 meters and peaks rising to 1600 meters. Both sides of the valley provide excellent ski-touring opportunities, allowing us to select the best route based on avalanche risk, snow, and wind conditions.

The combination of higher mountains, colder temperatures, and the valley's continental climate often results in excellent snow conditions.

The peaks near our cabin reach up to 1500 meters, offering a range of ski tour options with mountains all around us. Our base is a husky farm, so if conditions permit and the dogs are ready, we can even access our ski tour by dog sled.

(Dog sledding is an optional activity, depending on availability, with pricing to be settled once we arrive in Norway.)

We’ll head back to either Senja or Tamokdalen, based on which location we enjoyed most and where the snow conditions were ideal.

On our way back to Tromsø, we’ll either take on some of the Lyngen peaks or organize a speedboat trip to Kågen Island. There, we can ski different aspects of remote peaks, all while surrounded by the ocean.

(Kågen is an optional activity, depending on availability, and the cost will be determined once we're in Norway.)
