Sail and Ski Lyngen Alps, Norway
Sail through the steep fjords, soaking up the sensational views as you ski summit to sea
Sail through the magnificent Norwegian fjords aboard a 45ft catamaran, captained by a knowledgeable local skipper who knows the waters of the Lyngen Alps inside out. By day, you will summit breathtakingly scenic mountains with your professional guide and ski back down to the glistening sea below on northern Norway’s perfect spring snow. As you sail to your new mooring each day, keep an eye out for the friendly locals – in the form of orcas, humpbacks, grey seals, and eagles!
Spend your evenings enjoying après ski onboard, whilst soaking up the ambiance of the rustic surroundings. Take a refreshing plunge in the crisp arctic waters after unwinding in a Scandinavian sauna and savour the invigorating sensation that only the Norwegians truly understand. Cast your line and catch fresh seafood for dinner. And if the heavens are clear, gaze up and behold the breath-taking Northern Lights – a mystical phenomenon that you will remember forever.
