Lyngen Sail&Ski+Kilpisjärvi snowmobile skiing combo
Lyngen is without a doubt one of the most stunning mountain ranges in the world—especially from a ski tourer’s perspective. Long, beautiful descents (with vertical drops of 1,000–1,500 meters) unfold in every direction, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. And in our opinion, the best and most enjoyable way to explore this terrain is by sailboat.
The wilderness around Kilpisjärvi, on the other hand, offers truly remarkable skiing—especially by Finnish standards. The village and its surroundings are worth experiencing in their own right. In this region, the most efficient way to access the best skiing terrain is by snowmobile.
Lumiversum’s combo trip offers a unique opportunity to experience these two extraordinary and exciting—but completely different—skiing adventures.
