Alpes de Lyngen

8 Days

Feb - Apr

Intermediate

Description

Whether you are taking your first steps into splitboarding or you are an experienced rider, this trip is for you!

The Lyngen Alps (1,833m) are a mountain range in the northeast of the Troms county, in Norway. It dominates the Lyngen Peninsula, stretching over 90 kilometers north to south, along the western shore of the Lyngen fjord.

The Lyngen Alps are one of the top ski touring and splitboarding destinations in the world. They feature outstanding backcountry terrain for all levels. Therefore, I will adapt our trip’s itinerary to guests’ skill level, prior splitboarding experience, and preferences.

During our 8-day journey, we will traverse across the Lyngen Alps’ almost-untouched slopes that stretch down to the sea, blue glaciers, glacial rivers, and deep valleys, enjoying stunning views along the way! We will climb some of the most magnificent peaks in the peninsula, including Daltinden (1,533m), Sorfjelltinden (1,468m), Kavringtinden (1,289m), Storgalten (1,219m), Middagstinden (1,072m), Rassecarri (1,166m), and Stetinden (920m).

At this time of the year, we will probably be lucky to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), the bright natural lights that ignite the night sky in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Splitboarding under this magical show of lights will be a memorable experience!

This program is open to everyone, from newcomers to advanced riders. I will take a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 6. However, if a larger group is interested, an assistant guide will join us.

Don’t miss this unique splitboarding adventure in the remote Lyngen Alps! Send me your booking request now.

In case you are interested, I also offer a ski touring version of this program. If you are considering similar activities in other European countries, check out the splitboarding tours I lead in Carros de Foc (Spain), Kola Peninsula (Russia), and Fagaras Mountains (Romania).

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!

Maxine

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
