Day
1: Paris of the North
Your
adventure begins in Tromsø, nicknamed the “Paris
of the North,” located in an area rich with Norse and
Sámi history. We aim at departing from Tromsø in
the evening, sailing through Grøtsundet and Ullsfjorden
toward the island of Arnøya. All passengers are kindly asked
to board the vessel by 17:00.
Days
2 - 3: Mountains of Arnøya
In
the morning, you prepare for your first outing in Akkarfjord. If
conditions permit, you start skiing up to the summit of Trolltinden
(850 meters, 2,790 feet). From here you can enjoy an expansive view of
the beautiful Northern Norway coastline. The vessel stays in this area
for another day in order to find more ski possibilities, such as the
summit of Arnoyhogda (1,170 meters, 3,840 feet).
Days
4 – 7: Deep fjords, high mountains
The
ship becomes your base for daily ski trips in areas that can hardly be
reached any other way.
This
program is designed for experienced ski mountaineers who have mastered
techniques both for ascent and descent in challenging, snow-covered
alpine terrain.
A
typical day involves climbs on mountaintops averaging heights of 800 -
1100 meters (2,600 - 3,600 feet) and downhill skiing from those points.
The accumulated altitude you might climb over a given day can exceed
1,000 meters (3,280 feet).
An
accurate route cannot be determined in advance due to variable weather,
sea, wildlife, and avalanche considerations.
The
map outlines a possible but not final route with stops at Frakkfjorden
(Stoltind, 962 meters, 3,160 feet), Langfjorden, Øksfjord
(Øksfordjøkelen, 1,175 meters, 3,860 feet)
Simavik on Stjernøya (Nordmannsfjellet, 844 meters, 2,770
feet), and Seiland.
This
route serves as a rough guide only. The expedition leader ultimately
makes the final decision as to daily adjustments. Flexibility is
paramount in this type of cruise, and ski mountaineers must bring their
own equipment.
Day
8: Arriving in the heart of Finnmarken
Your
voyage ends in the picturesque town of Alta, located at the head of
Alta Fjord. You disembark at 09:00, beginning your homeward journey (or
other post-cruise program) with memories that will accompany you
wherever your next adventure lies.
