Description

It’s my pleasure to invite you to ski on Senja Island for a week. I have no doubt it will be the trip of a lifetime!

Senja is the second largest island in Norway. It is located in the province of Tromso, about 350 km north of the Polar Circle. A real paradise for backcountry skiers!

If I had to sum up the main reasons why I’d like to guide you in Senja, I’d list the following ones:

It will be a very active tour, where all my guests will make the best turns;
Exclusive experience: I will guide a small group of only 4 participants;
The most incredible ski descents towards the sea;
Unique views of the island and its fjords.

In the west of Senja there is the picturesque fishing village of Mefjordvær. It is a really nice place where you will find amazing high mountain landscapes. It also has one of the most beautiful fjords in the island.

Mefjordvær will not only be our starting point but also our lodging base. We’ll have dinner, rest and share our best stories of the day at an oceanfront hotel of this area: Mefjord Brygge.

At the bottom of this page you’ll find more details of the day by day itinerary. Next confirmed date is March 10th, 2018. The deadline to book your place is February 11th.

So fill out the form and get in touch with me as soon as possible. I’ll be happy to be your guide on this one week ski tour on Senja Island!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
