Ski Touring in the Troms region, Norway

The north of Norway is known for the impressive Lyngen Alps, close to Tromsø. Nevertheless the Troms area offers a lot more for skiers than just the Lyngen peninsula.

You can choose your ski touring area from a variety of interesting places in Troms, from valleys to islands. They all have their own special taste but the common factor is high quality ski touring in a beautiful landscape, generally with views of a fjord and the sea.

Here are just a few of these brilliant spots:

– Tromsø: The perfect basecamp for ski touring in the surounding areas.

– Stor Hollendaren: 1100m ski touring directly from sea level. To descend, you can choose steepeness variation up to 40°. From the summit a view opens up to the Ocean.

– Storstolpan: Around 1000 m ski touring to the last peak of the island. Incredible views from the summit of the Ocean.

– Stortinden – couloirs: Steep and narrow couloirs on the west end of Malangen Peninsula. Great views of the fjord.

– Blabaertinden: a classic touring mountain in Tamokdalen, known for its powder snow. Great steep variant descents on the east side.

– Daltinden: 1500 m ski tour in the majestic Lyngen peninsula. Descent to wards the north via vast skiable slopes. A good alternative is the round trip ascending the mountain from the southeast.
