Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Wow! That's a tremendous accomplishment. Awesome shots.

Stunning pix.
Funnily, only last night I was on Google Earth looking at the wrinkley bit round Lyngen. Nice!
How did you get there? Where did you stay? Was it quite expensive?

Self-organised or did you use a Norwegian company?

Thanks for the comments everyone.
MikePow, we organised the trip ourselves, trawled the internet for information and emailed some locals. The guidebook Ski Touring in Troms which is now published in English is very handy too.
altis I won't lie, Norway is relatively expensive compared to a trip to the Alps. Also with no package deals available, the costs start to ramp up fairly quickly. You can fly to Tromso from the UK (both indirect and direct). We split our stay between Tromso and Lyngen. On the plus side the almost unlimited amount of steep terrain available means ski tourers are thinly spread across many mountains and you would be very unlikely to encounter many large groups unless you tended to stick to the one or two really popular ski touring mountains. We has a few days where we met no-one or just one other single group.

We stayed in catered accommodation. I love camping and huts but it wasn't that sort of trip.
