The season runs from mid-February to mid-May.
The boat is a "luxury" mobile
refuge. Each day you will disembark at the start of a selected
course.
We sail for about 3 hours a day, exclusively within the fjords.
Since 1997 we have been working in the Lyngen
mountain range near to Tromsø. No-one is more familiar
with this range than we are. We have tested thirty or
so courses,
going across
them, circling them or doing a simple round trip there and
back. The boat gives us access to the most isolated sites.
We do not just content ourselves with "transporting" you.
We offer "turnkey" trips.
The guide does not need to prepare anything in advance. We
are used to the day
to day
organisation required by this type of trip.
On board a boat specially fitted out for this
type of activity, the guide has everything he needs to make
the trip a success:
- Local maps,
- a GPS with all of the routes pre-registered and "validated" by
guides,
- spare equipment if necessary (skis, sticks, crampons,
radio, ropes, harness, compass…),
- Bernard
Audrezet has excellent knowledge of each
course,
- boat permanently on radio watch in order to be
able to react to any change in programme and for safety reasons,
- the crew is perfectly run-in (captain, cook, hostess).
The service provided is highly appreciated…
The trip in detail
Trips start on Saturday evening and end on the following Saturday
morning, thereby avoiding hotel expenses.
Setting out from
Tromsø, the trips take place in the "Lyngen
mountain range" between Ullsfjord and Lyngenfjord
as well as in the nearby islands.
You fly in on Saturday evening and arrive on board the boat
at 19h00. Dinner and first night on board. We generally get underway
on Sunday morning. Three hours later you are on your skis ready
to attack your first course.
Full board on the boat, with a breakfast worthy of the sporting
activity you are about to undertake, followed by savoury and
sweet snack upon your return aboard. Dinner in the evening.
(Everyone has different habits and you take care of the energy
rations
for the courses during the trip).

Every night we make a stop-over
every night. Most of the time we berth alongside a small wooden
pontoon. In the evening you are free to leave the boat and
explore ashore. We sometimes spend the night at anchor.
The following morning, this is your departure point. Or if
we have been at anchor, we will take you to the start of the
itinerary we have decided upon by RIB.
Each evening, captain and guide get together to analyse the
various factors which have to be taken into consideration -
weather, snow, group dynamics, to decide upon the course for
the following
day. There are among 30 routes to chose from, including several
traverses (relative altitude between 800 and 1800 metres).
Bernard
Audrezet experience in managing this type of activity
is extremely useful. (Only the sailing yacht "Southern
Star" is unable to enter into Sørfjord, the restriction
arising as a result of mast height and the presence of overhead
electricity lines. The highest summit, the "Jiehkkevarri" is
just here).
We return to Tromsø on Friday evening after the last
course. An ideal opportunity go out to dinner and try a Norwegian
speciality such as seal, whale,
deer or fish.
After having spent a night on board, you leave the boat on
Saturday morning and head for the airport.
