The Areas:
Lyngen Alps: Just
75km from Norway's northern capital, Tromso, the Lyngen peninsular
is an mountain paradise rising to 1834m at Jiehkkevarri
and ringed by large glacier systems. In early June there is a generous
cover of Spring snow above 600m altitude, giving Alpine-like climbing
conditions, but allowing lower level approaches to be made on foot.

Lofoten Islands: This magical island chain stretches
150km out into the Norwegian Sea and features hundreds of dramatic
rock peaks rising from the deep fjords up to 1000m deep. The scrambling
and rock climbing potential is enormous. Stetinden
and the Narvik ranges: The mainland ranges offer endless
potential for mountaineering and rock climbing with pride of place
going to the magnificent Stetinden www.stetind.nu
. Road access is excellent throughout the area with amazing system
of tunnels ferries and bridges. Although distances can be long driving
times are surprisingly quick.
