Description

Uløya is a Norwegian island located at the foot of the Lyngen Alps. It is a famous destination among winter sports lovers. Join me for a 7-day splitboarding trip around this extraordinary area!

Situated on the east side of the Lyngen fjord, Uløya has an area of 78 km2. An amazing three peak ridge rises straight from the sea offering lots of thousand-meter slopes, inclined at almost any angle.

We will be based at the Lyngen Outdoor Center lodge, at the foot of Blåtinden (1142m). Every splitboarding day will start from the very doorstep of our lodging. We can head up to some great mountaineering spots at Blåtinden, Uløytinden (1114m) or Kjelvagtinden (1104m), and find fabulous powder descents. Furthermore, if you want something different, we can take a boat trip to explore the neighboring islands of Kågen and Arnøya. Additionally, we can also practice fishing and ice climbing in the area.

For this trip it is important that you have some prior splitboarding experience. Moreover, you will need a good fitness level for the long hours out in the mountains. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you!

So, if you are up for this breathtaking splitboarding week , please contact me. I am sure that you will be amazed at the beauty of the Uløya Island area!

And if you are looking for climbing courses in Norway, then take a look at my Hemsedal and West Jotunheimenal program.

Mountain Guide

I am a fully certified IFMGA guide since 2012. I have, however, mastered my climbing and skiing skills for many years before taking up guiding. I have participated in numerous climbing expeditions not only to the wild mountains of Caucasus (which I have gotten to know pretty well), but also to Nepal, Alps and have extensively climbed in many Norwegian areas. In recent years I have been resident in Norway, and I co-operate with my friends at Lyngen Outdoor Center as their chief mountain guide.

George

Fantastic trip. Guide was experienced and friendly. He took us to some amazing sites where we learned the basics of ice climbing and using crampons as well as using ice axis to climb and be safe on the mountain. We did a snow hike up Gaustatoppen which was an environment we’ve never been too and was an incredible experience. Wish we could have stayed longer! Trip was weather dependent as with anything but that didn’t take away a huge amount of things to do. Rjukan is a wonderful town with gorgeous scenery. Huge thank you to Pawel for this experience!

Pawel was a fantastic guide, I couldn’t have hoped for anything better for my first trip ice climbing. In particular I was very impressed with his ability to make sure that I was always challenged but never entirely out of my depth and his coaching helped me to develop without overloading me with information.

Greg

The most fantastic day with the most helpful, skilled and friendly guide and instructor! We had a really wonderful and exciting day, learned a great deal and enjoyed the truly spectacular scenery. Pawel was extraordinarily supportive, patient and impressive in his sharing of knowledge and for making it a great day all around. Big thanks and we look forward to the next time!

Peter

We were 3 guys heading out for our first time iceclimbling, and it was one of the best trip either of us had ever been on. Friendly and attentive guide, who clearly focused on our needs. We felt very safe throughout and our only regret is that we didn't have more days. Big thanks to Pawel for being a terrific guide.
