Ski & Sail Lyngen

Cruise untouched powder snow and sail along the majestic Lyngen Alps.
Lyngen is located between the 69th and 70th latitude north along Northern Norways most spectacular coast line. It offers world class skiing and is unique in terms of access by boat and the high peaks. Traveling by sailboat among the Lyngen Alps, is an experience of a lifetime. We will sail a stunning well equipped 73 foot sailing yacht. Traveling with skis and sails will get you close to nature, wildlife and untouched powder. The weather and conditions can change quickly. For this reason we only use UIAGM certified ski guides who have local knowledge of the area. This way we can offer a flexible program, with the best knowledge, as well as ensuring safety. Our captain and crew on the boat is trained by the RYA in England, have good local knowledge and extensive international experience to ensure a sailing trip you will not forget.

Area of Operation:

All tours will be planned according to where we get the best conditions for skiing in the Lyngen region. The municipality is named after the Lyngen fjord (Old Norse: Lygnir). The name of the fjord is derived from the word logn which means «quiet, still, or calm». Depending on destination and current weather conditions, we will start the day with a good breakfast, organize our equipment and get ready to chase the powder. Most of the peaks are between 750-1800 m staring at the beach, and we will use approx. 6-8 hours round trip. We´ll enjoy the stunning views and the days in the mountains. When we are back down to the boat again, it’s time for dinner, chilling, fishing, sailing and planning the next day’s destination.

Is this trip for me?

This trip is designed for ski and sail enthusiasts, and is the best option for the annual trip! Experience the exotic winter landscape of Lyngen in a unique way. An important thing is that the group is relatively at the same level, since we have many alternative tours to choose from for all skill levels. If preferred we can provide 2 guides on the trip. We bring friends, groups and corporations and can tailor trips on request. When it´s time for a special occasion, to celebrate an anniversary or just time for something extra special, we can deliver a trip of a lifetime.
