Toppturer Rundt Harstad | Ski Touring Around Harstad

Toppturer Rundt Harstad is a guidebook to ski touring in the Harstad region of Arctic Norway.

Harstad is the region between Lyngen and Lofoten and includes some incredible ski touring areas. This top-quality guidebook has the same high quality that Fri Flyt's guidebooks are known for. Author Christian Dramsdahl has delivered a comprehensive guide to the mountains in the region. Here he shares his unique local knowledge with you.

It covers the area mountain by mountain, with ascents and descents well marked in maps and photos. In addition, we have highlighted some of the best walks and hiking attractions, such as mountain ski tours, DNT cabins and alpine traverses.

As with all other Fri Flyt guidebooks, each summit and mountain description includes everything you need to have a safe summit experience. Each route is classified according to KAST / ATES, which helps you make informed road and route choices. This way you can avoid moving in avalanche terrain where possible, and make the right choices in more challenging terrain.

Each route is also marked with the number of meters of elevation gain, the expected time you will spend on the trip, the best time of year to take the trip, and whether you need additional equipment such as an ice axe, crampons, etc. The book also includes a separate preparatory chapter with a description of how to use the information in the book, as well as an introduction to mountain hazards such as avalanches and avalanche risk assessment.
