Sail & Ski Norway in Lyngen Alps

With the sailboat, you will travel to the beautiful Lyngen Alps through majestic fjords. You will experience Norway not only from the water, but also on skis. Glide down the mountains, marvel at the fantastic views, and collect unforgettable memories during this skiing experience. Snow-covered mountains reaching approximately 1,800 meters stretch into the sky here north of the Arctic Circle and offer the perfect view of the countless surrounding islands. Mild temperatures and perfect snow conditions await you here from mid-March to early May. Slope angles are mostly below 25-30 degrees over glacier plateaus, but you can reach up to 40 degrees and deep powder snow if you opt for gorges and steeper lines.

The Sailboat
Your sailboat for the week is the Varuna, a state-of-the-art sailboat from Garcia Shipyard, a 22-meter (73-foot) aluminum sloop designed for unlimited range passages. As a centerboarder with shallow draught (4.7m - 1.3m), it can reach the most protected anchorages, making it a versatile and comfortable yacht. The aluminum construction - with a hull thickness of 10mm - and the highest standard deck fittings, rigging, and sails allow you to venture into the most remote areas. Maintained to the highest safety standards and equipped above the Offshore Special Regulations (OSR) Category 1 standards of World Sailing (formerly ISAF). Equipment selection and maintenance services are overseen by world-class skipper and owner Lionel Lemonchois.
The number of guests is limited to 6, ensuring comfort, personalized attention from the crew, and unrestricted use of amenities. A small group allows flexibility and smooth processes during embarkation and disembarkation, maximizing time spent on land.
The four double cabins are cozy with bespoke wooden interiors, warm and welcoming, each with en-suite bathroom and shower. Individual heating, lighting, and power supply. The boat has been modified with a spacious deck saloon offering a 360-degree view of the surroundings. The inner hull is thermally insulated, providing excellent protection against humidity and external temperatures, and reducing energy consumption. Two independent and redundant heating systems ensure stable interior temperatures with individual cabin controls, as well as heated air for drying clothing and gear in dedicated lockers. The first mate and chef spoil you with a full breakfast, après-ski snacks, and a 3-course dinner featuring local specialties.
