Ski Touring Norway: Discover the Lyngen Alps with Local Guides

Want to experience the real Ski Touring Norway? Take a look at the unspoiled wilds of the Lyngen Alps in Northern Norway, out of reach of the mass ski resorts.

Here at Lyngen Outdoor Center, we have guided ski touring holidays catering to your ability levels, objectives, and schedule. If you are a beginner ski tourer or an experienced backcountry skier, our resident guides are here to make it an easy and safe trip as well as a memorable one.

Why Ski Touring Norway?

The Lyngen Alps are a dream come true for ski tourers — sharp peaks, deep snow, and stunning views of fjords and the Arctic Ocean. You’ll find lines for every level, from easy climbs to steep couloirs.

And the best part? You’ll enjoy quiet slopes and untouched powder, far from ski lifts and noise.
