To participate in this trip, you should have experience in advanced splitboard tours and be proficient in executing stable kick turns across various snow conditions. The Lyngen region offers diverse snow conditions ranging from spring/powder to packed snow. Each day, we will embark on splitboard tours that cover vertical distances of 800 to 1200 meters, lasting between 3 to 6 hours. It’s important that you are comfortable riding spring/powder snow slopes with steepness up to 40 degrees.
Keep in mind that some mountain ridges might be icy, requiring the use of crampons and an ice axe for safe ascents. You should possess the knowledge of how to properly attach and utilize these climbing tools. If you lack this expertise, consider joining us on the Lofoten instead.
