Espen Nordahl’s Ski Touring In Troms was first published in 2010, and it has
served as a guide for thousands of people searching for experiences in the
Lyngen Alps, in the Tromsø area and other coastal mountains in Northern
Norway. The new edition consists of several new routes, updated route
descriptions, new images and better maps. The island of Senja has also been
included as a ski touring destination.

The book gives detailed descriptions of ascents and descents, for the beginner
as well as for the expert. All the trips include aerial photos with routes
indicated. Each chapter ends with an overview map (1:250 000) as well as
individual maps for the summits (1:50 000).

The book also includes more than 140 pictures. There is a chapter on avalanche
safety written by avalanche expert Kjetil Brattlien, as well as a chapter on
ski history written by mountain guide Ake Hedlund.

Espen Nordahl (1960) moved to Tromsø in 1982 and has been one of the city’s
the most active ski touring enthusiasts ever since.
