Description

Calling all great skiers to the slopes of Norway! Join me on this 8 day ski tour in the Senja Island.

The Senja Island, located on the southwest region of Tromso, is extremely picturesque, given that its mountains face the oceans and fjords, which are illuminated by the lights of the town. On the island, there are a variety of slopes that are perfect for skiing, and you will get to choose which you would like to explore once we arrive.

We begin our trip by meeting in Tromso, and from there transportation will be provided to Senja. This car ride will be short, but once we arrive we will settle into our accommodation in a lodge before the next few days of skiing. Over the course of the 6 days that follow we will use the lodge as a base, which will allow you to ski in the nearby mountains with ease. The nearby mountains such as Col de Grovla, Keipen and Roalden begin at 1,000 meters above sea level, and are suited for prime skiing. After enjoying our final ski, we will again be transported back to Tromso, where we will enjoy a final night in a hotel before the trip ends the following day.

This trip is intended for intermediate to advanced level skiers who have a lot of previous experience. And as your guide, I will be happy to help you with any tricks or tips to improve your skills.

Request to book this trip if you are an avid skier who has always dreamed of hitting the slopes in Norway!

About the guide

Fabien

Mountain Guide

Hi! My name is Fabien Artero, I have been a mountain leader since 2008 and mountain guide since 2014. I discovered my passion for the mountains by spending time during my youth at the Valle Argentina in Italy, in the Ligurian Alps.

I slowly discovered activities that allowed me to travel the valley along the seasons...

The mountain is a large playground. We have to play according to its mood, mountain conditions, weather and finally choose the itinerary... Which renders these activities complex and exciting.

These activities allow us to discover the valleys, massifs, the countries and people living in them. Altogether is makes for an enriching mixture from any point of view.

I wanted this to become my profession because, of the mountains, human contact and the practice of exciting activities.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
