Ski touring in Norway – Photo Gallery

I’m a huge fan of Norway. Here are highlights from 5 different ski venues going from south to north: the Jotunheim Haute Route, Romsdal with its famous Troll Wall as a backdrop, Norway’s largest island Senja, , its most well known mountain massif, the Lyngen pensinsula and finally some boat based touring in Finnmark. Skoal!
