Equipment information to make your Norwegian ski touring trip to Lyngen as smooth and comfortable as possible. See below for information regarding skis, avalanche safety equipment and clothing.
Kastle skis are the official partner to Lyngen Lodge.
The Kastle TX 98 is 98mm under the foot providing good floatation in deep snow. The 128mm tip provides a good rise in the powder and the 117mm tail gives support and power. The ski is excellently balanced, very sporty yet forgiving when needed, it's brilliantly agile in tight trees and carves a solid turn on the big open Lyngen style faces. Lengths 169cm, 177cm and 187cm. Skis are mounted with ATK or Dynafit pin system.
Either Kastle (ATK) or Dynafit pin bindings are fitted to Kastle TX98 touring skis. All sets include skins and ski crampons.

It is possible to travel with ABS pressurised bottles. They should be carried in the hold luggage but not in the cabin carry on baggage.
A selection of Peak Performance clothing is available at the lodge shop.
Peak Performance Blacklight collection is the official clothing sponsor for Lyngen Lodge.
Love your feet! And treat them to some wool rich socks - they'll thank you and so will your mates who join you in the hot tub after skiing!
A thin fleece pair and a beefy warm pair to block the snow and wind will do the trick, if you have a pair with removable liners that's a real bonus.
Goggles and sun glasses with high UV protection are required.
A rucksack around 35 litres capacity will be sufficient for all touring days. You'll only need to carry, safety equipment, water, food and some spare clothing for the day. ABS can be rented from the lodge.
