Guiding in Tromsø this summer

Todays climb on Zappfe egga near Tromsø was a good start of this summer´s guiding out of Tromsø, Norway. We will be based in our home town Tromsø for the rest of the summer and guiding in the mountains surrounding the Island. So if you have ambitions of reaching a high summit in the lyngen alps or maybe perform your first steps of rock and alpine climbing on Kvaløya please send and e-mail or call us for more tips and dates.

Ski mountaineering in the Lyngen alps

A great week is ended here in Lyngen and it was a very nice finish of this fantastic ski season. Having three students and one visiting aspirant guide doing his final practice with us made this week a truly good experience for everyone. Starting off with camping and avalanche training and moving into steeper adventures as the days moved on… Couloir skiing, Glacier travel, navigation, rope works and climbing steep snow. Lyngen is fantastic in early summer and normaly we have snow lower down but this spring has been unusually warm and sunny. This week was also warm and sunny but it was all to the better for us. Enjoying midnight sun, epic spring skiing and good atmosphere all week made this week a special one. Thanks to all!

Summer is moving in here and a well deserved family vacation awaits on the doorstep…

From July to September we go trekking, glacier walking, rock climbing and summer mountaineering here so please send a request for these activities in Tromsø and Lyngen!
