The tour is not a cabin-to-cabin trek, or just another rite of passage.

But it wasn\u2019t actually possible to complete this tour until the winter of 2022. That was the first year with a ferry connection between Kval\u00f8ya and Senja in the winter season. Finally, ski tourers could explore Troms County\u2019s glittering alpine peaks. The season is long this far north, and in years with good snow conditions, it is not unusual to be able to do this tour from March and well into May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troms\u00f8 and Kval\u00f8ya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/ski-touring-in-tromso\/\">Troms\u00f8 is a melting pot for ski enthusiasts<\/a>. Here, you\u2019ll find everything, from certified guides and a research community at the university, to large groups of people who spend the majority of their free time skiing in the mountains around Troms\u00f8 and Kval\u00f8ya. On this part of the tour, you will explore the lovely areas on Kval\u00f8ya, but Ringvass\u00f8y and Malangen are other popular areas to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull vnn-hero wp-block-vnn-hero\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__media\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Toppturer-pa-senja-kristin-folsland-olsen-scaled.jpg);background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__gradient\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__inner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-first\">Safety first!<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-arrow\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The basics of staying safe while ski touring<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"You can check the weather forecast at any given time \u00a9 Politiet (the Police)\" class=\"wp-image-22522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB.jpg 1754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can check updated avalanche forecasts at any given time \u00a9 Politiet (The Police)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Senja<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many have discovered the beauty of Senja in the summer season. The alpine peaks and the dramatic topography is quite simply breathtaking. First-time visitors often describe it as \u201calmost unreal\u201d. While interest in winter activities was on the rise pre-pandemic, Senja is a place that hasn\u2019t normally had many visitors in the winter season. Our guess is that this is the place you will brag most about after your holiday is over and you have returned home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/ski-touring-on-senja\/\">best ski terrain is found on Senja<\/a>\u2019s north-western side, and there are several options for accommodation. Mefjordv\u00e6r is a cozy little fishing village approx. 30 minutes from the ferry landing. It has all the amenities you need, and early in the season, the northern lights are often strong in this area. There are several other places nearby that offer the same facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lyngen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many, this will be icing on the cake. Lyngen, Lyngseidet and all of the Lyngen Fjord has long been a world-renowned ski touring destination world-wide. The massive, high mountains often has good conditions well into spring, and mid-season the mountain is teeming with ski tourers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull\"><div

touring. At the same time, this activity has become more and more popular among locals and visitors alike. Activity in avalance terrain is potentially deadly, and sadly, Troms has had its share of deadly accidents. If you want to go ski touring in Troms or anywhere else \u2013 do not venture into avalance terrain if you do not have the knowledge required to do so. If you are not sure, you should only go out with a certified&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/nortind.no\/en\/godkjente-vegledere-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mountain guide&nbsp;<\/a>or&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/nortind.no\/en\/godkjente-vegledere-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ski touring guide<\/a>. In addition to keeping you safe while ski touring, a local guide will be able to provide you with more information about the landscape you are exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find a certified guide here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nortind is the Norwegian association of mountain guides, and they are responsible for training internationally certified mountain guides (in accordance with IFMGA standards). In Troms, you can find local mountain guides and ski touring guides with the expertise required to bring visitors along on ski tours in this landscape. The beautiful landscape is also quite demanding, and, in reality, skiing activity on layered snow should only be attempted by people with the expertise required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more about safety by taking an avalanche course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a wide variety of courses held by certified guides all over Norway. A good start to a safe day in the mountains is to develop the theoretical and practical knowledge you need to ski safely by taking a course. Avalanche courses should be practical, with both indoors and outdoors activities. A merely theoretical course indoors is not sufficient to keep you safe in avalanche terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull vnn-hero wp-block-vnn-hero\">\n\t\t\t<div

community in Troms\u00f8 and the surrounding areas is very active. Many people move to these areas to practice their hobbies in combination with work and a family life. This creates a very welcoming atmosphere, and on the weekdays, the areas close to Troms\u00f8 are especially active. Once you move out toward Senja and other, more remote areas, it is not uncommon to be the only one on the mountain that particular day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skiable terrain and lines in this region are virtually endless, and you need to live a very long and active life if you want to explore it all, but&nbsp;there are some highly dedicated ski tourers whose goal it is to reach the peak of all mountains over a certain elevation. The guide and the group work together to set the destination for the day, but the route is fixed.
