Snow-covered mountains in the deep blue sea, untouched slopes, the ski lodge right on the water, fresh fish and northern lights – that is the ski touring feeling of the Lyngen Alps in Norway.
Ski tours north of the Arctic Circle in the wilderness of the far north in the Lyngen Alps in Norway. Wildly romantic fjords, ski tours in the finest powder snow, mystical northern lights and a house by the sea await us there. Time can pass slowly there.
Guided Ski Tours Lyngen Norway
Paul Held and his mountain guides were among the first to organize ski tours in Norway north of the Arctic Circle. They have been leading their guests safely through the Lyngen Alps for over 15 years. No other operator knows this region better.

Why ski touring in Norway?
Time seems to pass at a slower pace up here. The locals always seem relaxed and enjoy their laid-back lifestyle. It is the quietness of the woods, the snow covered mountains that soar from the deep blue sea, the changing colours of the aurora and the arctic cold of the Lyngen Alps that create that unique Norway feeling.
- Two Austrian mountain guides who know the area guide small groups of no more than seven guests
- Choose between an ambitious or a more relaxed group
- You will be in a group of people with a similar fitness and skill level
- Ski tours are possible right from the lodge
- You can book the entire lodge for a private group
- Ski to the ocean shore
- Wide open, undulating, fairly flat and generally safe terrain
- Unusual light conditions and auroras
- Après ski sauna and fjord plunge pool
- Fishing from our own boat (aluminum boat with 50-hp-motor), with high probability of catching fish

Ski Lodge in Lyngseidet / Lyngen Alps
The Ski Lodge Sørheim Brygge in Lyngen is directly on the sea shore. Wake up in the morning to the cries of the seagulls, have your catch of the day delivered to the door by the local fishermen. After baking in the sauna you can jump into the cold fjord or head off to the only local pub in Lyngen. Both the lodge and the pub are owned by Stein-Erik, who has been working together with us for many years.
Food & Drink
The price of the ski touring package Norway includes costs for breakfast, packed lunch and dinner, except alcoholic drinks. Our mountain guides go shopping every day and get you all the groceries and ingredients you want for your meals. You cook together as a team. Typical food includes freshly caught fish, reindeer and lamb. The regional products are of very high quality and there is plenty to eat for everyone.

Getting to Tromsø and Lyngseidet
Arrival and departure is on Saturdays. The closest airport is Tromsø. Almost every airport of Europe has flights to Tromsø via Copenhagen or Oslo with SAS or Norwegian.
IMPORTANT: Pick-up at Tromsø airport is on Saturdays at 14:30. If your ski touring week starts in April the meeting point is at 04:00 pm at the airpoint in Tromsø. Guests, who book flights with later arrival, have to organize the transfer to the lodge themselves at their own expense. STA-Travel offers convenient flights.

Tip for your flight
We understand that airfares have become very expensive lately. Please check online to find the best available offers. Note that you should arrive in Tromsø by 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays at the latest, and your return flight should depart no earlier than 11:30 a.m. the following Saturday. If your ski touring week starts in April the meeting point is at 04:00 pm at the airpoint in Tromsø.
It may be much cheaper for you to arrive a day earlier or fly home later. You might find the best deals by booking your outbound and return flights separately with different airlines directly online, such as flying with Norwegian Air there and Finnair back. We would be happy to pick you up from your hotel or drop you off. I recommend the Smart Hotel Tromso.
Kuoni Travel Agent in Innsbruck is specialized in the needs of my customers and will be happy to make you a suitable offer for the flight.
