Tamok

Tamok is a small mountain range in northern Norway. It is located about 250 km north of the Arctic Circle in Balsfjord municipality of Troms County- just south of the famous Lyngen Alps.

Tamok range has dozens of thousand meter peaks, five of which are over 1500 meters. Typical descents are from about 700 to 1200 vertical meters. Biggest descent in the range is close to 1500 m high. Terrain varies from mellow and safe cruises to hard and demanding big mountain routes. Tamok has excellent riding both below and above treeline.

Ski season typically starts in November and goes on till late May or early June. During normal winters it snows about 6 meters. Powder conditions are quite frequent from mid winter till late spring. It is possible to find safe and fun skiing in most snow and weather conditions.
Tamokhuset

Tamokhuset, or simply Huset, is a lodge in the heart of Tamok Valley. Huset is a great base for exploring and discovering the awe inspiring nature of this wild northern region.

Built in 1978 the facility served the valley inhabitants as a community house until mid 2010s. Since, it has been transformed into a mountain hut for visiting skiers and other travelers.

Tamokhuset is simple but comfortable. It has eight bedrooms, large living/diningroom, dressing rooms and showers for men and women, toilets, kitchen and small room for drying gear.

The bedrooms sleep 32 guests. Four of the rooms are very compact while the rest are a little bit more spacious. Each room has two bunkbeds, and sleep up to four persons.
