SYNOPSIS
59º North’s first Ski & Sail trip! Most of the 59º North staff are very into skiing, and so are many of our return crew members. So combining the two seems like an absolute no-brainer.
The Lyngen Alps in the Norwegian Arctic offer some of the best skiing in the world. It is quite remote and is only accessible from the sea — meaning that you will most likely have the whole mountain to yourself! We’ll find docks or anchorages around the Alps, and go ashore where the snow begins and the water ends. August knows this area very well, and has led many Ski & Sail expeditions in the area. The peaks are between 800 and 1500 meters, and will be scaled on foot from the shore.
The trip will start and end in the beautiful city of Tromsø. You will need to bring you own skiing gear. A professional guide will be with you during the entire passage.
typical Weather Pattern
We could possibly see some strong winds in the north, but we will mostly be in well-protected, inshore waters. We could see freezing temperatures and snow. But as we say, there is no bad weather, only bad clothing! No need for shorts and sandals on this one.
