First snow in The Lyngen alps

First real snowfall came last week and for some days now we´ve had amazing autumn weather in the lyngen alps. At the moment we are improving the Ascent Descent Ski Lodge in Lyngen and our new cabin for the guides is getting ready for the winter. Please get in touch for our classic ski touring weeks for the 2016 season. We are also looking forward to our 10 year anniversary in the Lyngen alps this winter and to use our expanded lodging facilities.

These pictures where taken a few days ago on our way to the lodge…

Lyngen autumn (6 of 6)

Our “home mountain” Storgalten is truly one of the biggest ski touring classics up here. Skiing on all aspects with glaciers, couloirs, faces, valleys and all features you would like to play with on a pair of skis! Photo: Jimmy Halvardsson

Still some free dates on our lyngen ski weeks

The season starts for real this week with an avalanche and skitouring lecture in Tromsø on wednesday and first ski touring clients on thursday. March often gives good snow conditions in The Lyngen Alps and fantastic Northern lights in the evenings.

There will be some highly qualified guides joining the AscentDescent guide team this season and we want to welcome both skiers and guides to Lyngen and Northern Norway.

… And yes, we have some dates left for the ones looking for a last minute trip so just call or mail for more info…

See you soon! / Jimmy, Petra and Max
