Description

Sailing in the remote fjords of Norway to slide on amazing untouched powder is definitely an experience of a lifetime! I invite you to join me on this 7-day adventure around the Lyngen Alps for an unforgettable ski touring and sailing trip in northern Norway, within the Arctic Circle.

Our adventure starts in the city of Tromso. During this one-week trip, we will be staying at the SkyDancer sailboat, where we will sleep comfortably and eat delicious meals. It accommodates up to 8 guests and 2 guides.

Every day, we will explore a new island. We will enjoy a deep connection with nature, as the sailboat slides quietly getting us close to majestic mountains and unique wildlife**. We will head north to the enchanted fjords of Norway**, where the days are long and incredible skiing possibilities await us. We can ski at the pace your group desires, as aggresively or as easy-going as you like.

You will be amazed by the natural beauty of stunning mountains rising straight up from the sea in the Lyngen Alps. You will discover a land with a wide variety of terrain, ideal for amazing ski tours.

We will plan our tours according to the weather conditions, looking to reach the best spots for a unique skiing adventure. Most of the peaks here are in the 2200-3500′ range. Our day will begin with a good breakfast and, after checking our equipment, we will be ready to get out and chase the powder.

We will start at the beach and a round trip will take us about 6 to 8 hours. Back in the boat, it will be time to enjoy dinner, chill out, fish, sail and plan the next day’s itinerary.

So book your trip if you want to be part of this unique adventure in the Lyngen Alps! Send me a request and let’s start planning this amazing trip in Norway. I also guide a ski and sailing trip in Svalbard. Check it out!

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.

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.
