A certified mountain guide based in Lofoten, I use more than 15 years of experience and an intimate knowledge of the terrain to create tailor-made itineraries. Each outing is adapted to the weather, your level and, above all, the desire of the moment. The goal: to offer you a personalized, soothing, caring and authentic experience.
