From the seaside to the peak – The Lyngen Alps


There are so many extraordinary places in this world, which are still on my “to-ski-list”. And I think I just visited one, I can now check on my list – the untouched north of the Lyngen Alps in Norway.
Aline Bock and I decided pretty short timed, 3 weeks ago, that we do this amazing freeride trip to the far north of Norway. So we booked flights and flew with our crew of filmer (Clemens Krueger), photographer (Matthias Fend) and my bro to Tromsø, a small town about 400 km north of the polar circle.
From there, we based ourselves on the “Polargirl”, a pretty cool, red boat with sauna and hot tub. Ready to start the adventure, the Polargirl took us to the most amazing landscapes of the wild Norwegian Fjords, from where we started our ski tours. 6 days in a row, we skinned up 1200 meters high every day to have the most beautiful freeride runs down to sandy beaches of the ocean. I can’t describe how incredible fascinating this was… we were speechless several time of the beauty and impressing nature we got to ski in.
After every day, we let the day pass by with a cool beer in the hot tub in the sunset of the wild fjords. It was a very unique journey, I’ll never forget. The clip ot the journey will be released in Octobre, you can be excited.

Thanks to the whole crew, Hydroalpin and the sponsors for realizing thist unforgettable trip!!!

Have a sweet start in summer,

See you soon,

Caja
