Name: Norway Ski and Sail Trip-Tromsø to Alta
Start: 2026-04-30T16:00:00-07:00

Location: Lyngen Alps

**Join *Saveur the Journey* for an Advanced level Ski touring and Sailing trip through the Fjords of Norway.** For a week we will call the 100ft wooden Norwegian Sailboat “*Helt*” our home as we explore the Lyngen Alps and Finmark Alps with fully certified IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guides. This trip begins in Tromsø where we will board the *Helt* and begin working our way North over the next week towards our eventual destination of Alta. The beginning of May at this latitude (69° North) is an amazing time to be skiing and sailing, as the days are very long (19 hours) but it looks like the middle of winter, with plentiful snow. This allows for lots of flexibility in our daily plans to best take advantage of the weather conditions, stability, and group desires. Whales, including humpbacks and other species, are migrating to the area around this time as well, giving us a good chance to see them.
