Situated well above the Arctic Circle, the Lyngen Alps, near Troms, are home to more than 600 mountain peaks that reach 1,000 metres in elevation!
Receiving plenty of high-quality powder all winter long, the region is the perfect place to head for a freeride ski touring adventure!
Join us and over the course of our 8 days together, we’ll explore the stunning Tamok Valley, ski down jagged peaks and majestic fjords, and get the chance to explore some of the outer isles.
All of this will be made possible thanks to the Pesä, a retired army truck that has been refitted to serve as a mobile ski hut.
Each day, we’ll spend about 5 to 8 hours skiing. We’ll start our adventure in the Tamok Valley, getting used to the skiing conditions before driving farther north into the Lyngen Alps.
After a couple of days skiing these majestic slopes, we’ll head out to do some summit to sea skiing on the various outer islands.
As the trip draws to its end, we’ll return to the Tamok Valley and enjoy a bit more skiing here as well as a traditional sauna.
We will start each day out with breakfast in the Pesä and each evening, we’ll enjoy a three course meal prepared by our own personal chef. After dinner, we will plan our next day’s adventure and spend the evening gazing upwards, looking for the Northern Lights.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, exciting and unique 8-day freeride ski touring adventure in the Lyngen Alps, from Troms.

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.
