Worth reading
Several good books have been written about ski touring in the Lyngen Alps. We recommend:
- Ski Touring in Troms by Espen Nordahl features descriptions of 82 summit ski trips throughout Troms County.
- The Lyngen Alps by Sjur Nesheim and Eivind Smeland features descriptions of how to conquer most of the peaks in the Lyngen Alps – in winter and summer.
- Download for free the new brochure for ski touring north of the Lyngen Alps by Espen Nordahl.
