On the West coast of Norway, 69 Degrees north, lies the beautiful island of Senja. A ski touring heaven in the Arctic Circle. Senja is situated Southwest of the Arctic capital Tromsø. Norwegians often describe Senja as “Norway in miniature” as it has all the elements of this diverse country. While ski touring we enjoy the magnificent and breathtaking scenery. We summit peaks and ski all the way back through the quintessential birch trees to sea level. There is a great variety of peaks, couloirs and traverses to be skied for all different levels of ski mountaineering.

This week of ski touring is designed for comfort and we stay the whole week in the village of Mefjorvaer, in the north of the island, in a cozy lodge where we have all our dinners in the restaurant.
We will use the lodge as a base and take trips out every day, transferring by minibus to enjoy the best routes. The Island has a good road network, allowing access to the most remote spots in approximately an hour from where we stay.
March and beginning April are an ideal time to visit as it offers plenty of daylight, but the temperatures are low enough for potential powder.
