Certified ski guides, ski holidays, ice climbing, and avalanche training in the Tromsø, Lyngen and Senja area
When you plan ski mountaineering holidays the first thing you need to think about is your safety. In the Tromsø area, there are many easily-accessible and beautiful places where beginners can ski without any problems, however, you should remember to always carry an avalanche beacon, shovel and probe when travelling in avalanche terrain and know how to use them. Back-country travel requires an acceptance of the risks involved (avalanches are not the only danger) and implies a willingness to take responsibility for educating oneself about these dangers and ways to mitigate them.
The best way to ensure you will make the most of your holidays and stay safe is to join experienced local guides.
Internationally approved guides with certification from the IFMGA / IVBV (International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations) Most Norwegian guides have certification from NORTIND - NORSKE TINDEVEILEDERE
Norske Tindeveiledere is the only Norwegian representative of the IFMGA/IVBV. NORTIND certifies mountain guides with the IFMGA's international standards and is responsible for organizing, educating, and refreshing the skills of mountain guides in Norway.
