Ski Touring Lyngen Alps Norway

Snow-covered mountains in the deep blue sea, untouched slopes, the ski lodge right on the water, fresh fish and northern lights – that is the ski touring feeling of the Lyngen Alps in Norway.

Ski tours north of the Arctic Circle in the wilderness of the far north in the Lyngen Alps in Norway. Wildly romantic fjords, ski tours in the finest powder snow, mystical northern lights and a house by the sea await us there. Time can pass slowly there.

Guided Ski Tours Lyngen Norway

Paul Held and his mountain guides were among the first to organize ski tours in Norway north of the Arctic Circle. They have been leading their guests safely through the Lyngen Alps for over 15 years. No other operator knows this region better.

Ski Touring in Iceland – Fire & Ice

Skiing from lonely peaks to the ocean shore, active volcanoes, hot springs, spas and aurora borealis, the northern lights

With its rugged coastline, secluded fjords, active volcanoes and glowing auroras, Iceland is a fascinating destination for every passionate backcountry skier. This country of fire and ice has a surreal appearance with ice-capped peaks and geothermal activity just below the surface. Leaving first tracks on these virgin slopes can only be described as ski touring deluxe.

Ski touring in Iceland between glaciers and geysers

Ski touring in Iceland means untouched mountains in perfect solitude. The slopes are rather flat and skiing is often possible right to the shoreline. No bush, no tree no tourists get in our way between the largest glacier of Europe and bubbling geysers. Iceland seems an unreal place, it is unique in many ways and particularly exciting as a skiing destination.
