Day 1 Welcome to the country that makes every ski tourer's heart beat faster. After arriving in Tromsö (TOS), we drive to our cozy accommodation in Hamn in Senja, which we reach in the evening. The journey takes approx. 2.5 hours. On the way to our lodges we have the opportunity to buy the basics for the first few days. We have a leisurely dinner and discuss the week ahead.
Day 2-7 Here on Senja we have countless ski touring possibilities in individual levels of difficulty. We will choose the right one depending on the snow and weather conditions. From gentle, easy-going pleasure tours to 45 degree steep couloirs, there is everything up here. Depending on the group and your wishes, we can go on completely different tours on the same day. The starting point is almost always at sea level and the highest mountains are almost 1,000 meters high.
Here are some possible ski tours: Krokelvtinden (756 m): Gentle introductory tour. The varied landscape allows us to ski several flanks. Ideal for the start of the week, where you can also check your skiing technique. Also a good option in bad weather. Walking time approx. 03:00 h - ascent approx. 600 m - descent approx. 600 m - travel time approx. 00:45 h Keipen: We head north to hike to the summit of Keipen (938 m). A scenically beautiful tour. Shortly below the summit, we set up our ski depot and walk the last few meters. We ski downhill on the same route in a pleasant and steady manner. Walking time approx. 04:00 h - ascent approx. 700 m - descent approx. 700 m - travel time approx. 01:00 h Husfjellet (632 m): We drive to Skaland and walk from the sea to today's summit, Husfjellet (632 m). Here, too, we cover the last few meters on foot. The view of the surrounding peaks and fjords of Senja is incredibly beautiful. Walking time approx. 03:00 h - ascent approx. 630 m - descent approx. 630 m - driving time approx. 00:45 h Kaperdalen: We drive to the high plateau of Kaperdalen. The choice of unmanned peaks is huge! The high plateau is ideal for a circular tour, which can be arranged according to the local conditions and our own ideas. Tredje Svanfjell (898 m) is just one of the many peaks. Everything is possible on this day, from powder snow to the finest firn. Walking time approx. 07:00 h - Ascent approx. 1,200 m - Descent approx. 1,200 m - Travel time approx. 00:45 h Skolpan: Two enjoyable tours to Flobjorn (611 m) and Skolpan (780 m) await us today. Pleasant and easy ski tours with fantastic descents. With a bit of luck, we may surprise huge herds of reindeer on Flobjorn. Walking time approx. 06:00 h - ascent approx. 1,300 m - descent approx. 1,300 m - travel time approx. 00:30 h Kvaenan: The route leads directly from the fjord through a sparse birch forest and then into beautifully hilly terrain to the summit of Kvaenan (963 m). Due to the nature of the terrain, the descent offers an unforgettable experience. Walking time approx. 05:00 h - ascent approx. 1,000 m - descent approx. 1,000 m - travel time approx. 01:10 h  
Day 8 Saying goodbye to Norway - after our hearty breakfast, we pack up and drive to Tromsö airport. There we say goodbye to beautiful Senja, which we leave with unforgettable impressions and wish we weren't flying home, but had just arrived...
