Ski Touring in Senja — Altitude Guides

In a nutshell

Senja, the ultimate ski above the sea. Where the lights invite you to contemplate and the snow slopes invite you to ski down to the fjords.
At Senja, there are easy runs as well as steep couloirs. This allows every group and skier to find their own pleasure, always with the joy of skiing all the way to the sea.

Because of the island’s size, Senja offers a wide variety of landscapes: from traditional Norwegian fishing villages to the wild mountains of the interior.

For greater flexibility and to be able to ski the best snow, we propose a base camp in a comfortable chalet in the heart of the island, 1 hour from Tromso and 45 minutes by ferry.

Every day, we’ll change ski spots and look for the best itineraries. These are chosen according to the conditions and the wishes of the group, always keeping adventure and discovery as our trademark. Occasionally, conditions will require us to take the boat to access otherwise inaccessible areas.
Trips last between 15 minutes and 1 hour maximum.

From mid-March to the end of April, daylight takes up most of the day. This means you can enjoy skiing until your legs say stop! At night, you may be able to watch the Northern Lights from your window.

Playing with the daylight, we can take a short hike in the morning, enjoy the Norwegian bath, go fishing, swim in the fjord for the bravest, then head out again in the late afternoon after a meal, for an extraordianry experience and ski off into the sunset that lasts for hours !

In collaboration with the guides, a chef will organize the days so that all you have to do is concentrate on skiing and having fun.
Food isn’t just energy for skiing, it’s also a cultural journey.

We strive to make your stay as enjoyable and unique as possible. We’ll find the right chalet for your group size, with sauna or Norwegian bath.
