Norwegian Ski Lodge

Kaluma have teamed up with fully qualified UIAGM Mountain Guide, Graham Austick, and his team, to be able to offer you this great opportunity to ski on the fantastic mountains of the Lyngen Alps, in the Arctic Circle in Norway.

You’ll be staying at the luxurious Lyngen Lodge, right on the eastern shore of the Lyngen Fjord. The lodge can sleep up to 16 people in 8 ensuite rooms with triple and single options available. The food has a unique Norwegian Coastal twist to it and the fully stocked bar can be enjoyed throughout your stay. The lodge comes complete with hot tubs, a private chef and stunning views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers and impressive peaks.

As well as this fantastic opportunity to experience “summit to sea” skiing in the Arctic Circle, you can expect to see whales and dolphins in the fjord throughout the year and are highly likely to spot a moose, wolverine or lynx. The famous and spectacular Northern Lights are also in clear view through February to early April.

Call us now to help plan your unforgettable Arctic Experience. 
Corporate Trips and VIP Private Clients are also catered for. Discretion and privacy guaranteed.

“The Spirit of Lyngen” boat will take you across the Fjord to the snow covered shore, at the base of one of the regions 60 peaks. The adventure continues on skins and touring skis, where you will make your way up to one of the summits, offering stunning 360 degree views. Once at the top, having relaxed, recouped and refuelled the real fun begins!

The Norwegian Ski experience:

• Glaciers, open powder fields, tree lined and forest skiing
  
• With descents of up to 2kms you can ski in fresh untouched snow, with breath taking views of the Fjord in front of you
  
• Arriving after a fresh descent to snow covered beaches is something very special and a unique experience you can only enjoy in this part of the world
  
• Once you have reached the shoreline, the boat is ready and waiting to whisk you to your next fresh powder field or back across the fjord for a well-earned hot tub
  
• That is, of course, unless you fancy casting a line for a bit of afternoon/evening fishing, catching the freshest of fish for dinner
