Mrs B and I have just booked flights and a mountain guide for 4 days lodge-based ski touring from Thursday 11 May to Sunday 14 May 2023  . The starting/meeting point for the tour will be in the Arctic Circle, in Lyngseidet, Norway.
As the max group size for the guide is 6, and with us being sociable types, we are wondering if there are any ski touring couples/singles out there who might fancy joining us and sharing the guide cost of £90 to £110 per person per day? (Final cost depends on group size).
Of course you would be free to do your own thing outside of the ski tour but our itinerary is as follows:
- Fly to Tromso on Tues 9 May and arrive early evening. Night in Tromso.
- Wed 10 May travel 90/120 minutes to Lyngseidet - hopefully by bus, though we may hire a car if necessary.
- Thurs 11 May to Sun 14 May - daily ski tour
- Mon 15 May - travel back to Tromso for 16.30 flight home.
We are experienced ski tourers and are age 60. We like to enjoy our days in the mountains, take in the overall experience and climb at a steady rate of about 300/350m an hour. In a day we intend to climb between 1000m and 1500m, enjoy the company, savour the mountains and enjoy a ski descent to sea level .
We will be based at Magic Mountain Lodge, Lyngseidet and will meet the guide there each day. The routes will be chosen by the guide, based on the above criteria of speed and overall ascent.
If you are interested in joining the trip, and are happy with our daily touring criteria, please let me know. If you would prefer to discuss things on the phone please drop me a PM and I will let you have my phone number.
Please note that you would be required to book your own accommodation plus travel to the meeting point. We are booked to stay at the MM Lodge (mentioned above) and booked that via Booking.com. Although the cost mentioned in the header is based on 4 people sharing the cost of the guide, plus 4 nights at MM Lodge on a room-only basis in a double room, the lodge does have shared dormitory accommodation available for single travellers (at a significantly reduced cost).
Any questions- please let me know.

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

Ooh, I'm slightly tempted by this! Love exploring northern bits of Norway.
No ski touring experience though. I can ski on-piste pretty well and run 10 miles in the hills every weekend so fairly fit, but I guess you do need some more specific technical skills. Perhaps, they do beginner sessions from the lodge too.
