May is here and this often means calmer weather, long days and good opportunities to reach the higher summits of the lyngen alps. The Ascent Descent Ski Lodge is fully booked until mid May but after that we have a few spots for the ones seeking good spring skiing in the lyngen alps. Lately we´ve been lucky to go a bit steeper with good snow and safe conditions. This season will stretch into June due to the last few snowfalls and colder temperatures. Skiing by boat with Ascent Descent “The Lyngen Mountain Guides ” will be possible until the 31st of May! Cheers / Jimmy Halvardsson
We skied one of the couloirs close to the lodge the other day as a afternoon additional. Great day out with two spectacular runs! Selfie: Jimmy Halvardsson

Spring has arrived in the Lyngen alps even if the conditions often is like winter up high. At Ascent Descent “The Lyngen Mountains Guides” we´ve had a record season in many ways. We´ve had more bookings than before, more skiing by boat and the worst weather season ever in The Lyngen alps. It´s been plenty of good mountain memories and good skiing but all those days with clear blue sky that we are used to has been reduced this winter. The good thing is that we still have a good snow pack and are ready for the good days that comes with the calmer spring season. We keep on going to the 31st of May out here in Nord Lenangen in the Northern Lyngen alps. So for us it´s still mid season!
Great skiing back to the Ascent Descent Ski Lodge last week. On the opposite side of the fjord at the bridge we have one of the best locations for the skiing in Lyngen! Still a few free dates in the last two weeks of May this year. Photo: Jimmy Halvardsson

Opening the Ascent Descent ski lodge in Lyngen for the spring with a boat tour to Arnøya. Yesterday night we also enjoyed watching the stars and aurora borealis from the jacuzzi so we could not ask for more really. Todays skiing was pretty good considering the snowpack we have at the moment. Lot´s of hard snow over the area but two days ago we had a snowfall which covered pretty good here and there and made our ski today pleasant.
A classic ski to the sea tour!

The ski touring season has started for real in Tromsø and The Lyngen alps and today I went out with friends enjoying the fantastic early winter pow. Our avalanche courses has started and the lectures we´ve had this fall has been well visited. It looks great for the season 13/14 and for booking and requesting ski touring and courses all you need to do is to send an email from this form.

October is almost here and that´s when we get most of our requests and bookings for the Lyngen ski touring season. For 7 years we´ve been fully booked in the main season and for this winter we see the tendency of skiers who want to come already in mid february to experience the northern lights in combination with ski touring.
Booking for the Ascent Descent Ski Lodge in Nord Lenangen includes boat accessed skiing this winter as well and as usual we provide guides for day or multiple daytours in the area.
Tip! This year we also have a ski touring and avalanche course program running in Tromsø from early winter…
