Have an unforgettable freeride touring trip and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Lyngen Alps. Travel in style, sleep comfortably in motorhomes, and take in some breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. Don't miss out on the chance to demo DOWNSKIS and create memories that will last a lifetime. Come with us to Norway and conquer new heights. Ride the lines which have been the stuff your wildest dreams are made of. It's a unique opportunity to explore the best backcountry skiing this area of Norway has on offer. While previous experience in freeride, ski touring, or splitboarding is not necessary, participants should at least be fit and confident on steep, off-piste terrain. Norway offers countless opportunities to explore pristine landscapes, enjoy exceptional snow conditions, and admire breathtaking scenery. It’s a dream destination for backcountry touring, especially during the spring season. Staying in motorhomes gives our group the flexibility to assess weather and terrain conditions, allowing us to choose the best riding locations. We’ll spend most of our time in the mountains, minimizing extensive driving and enjoying the freedom to relocate as needed.
