The History
The Founding of the Lodge – Graham’s Story
“I felt the lodge’s location chose me rather than me choosing it. I spent several years travelling by charter sailboat through the region guiding skiers; on one particular trip I visited the Kåfjord region on the eastern side of the Lyngen Fjord to ski a mountain called Store Haugen above the small village of Djupvik. Climbing through the forest I noticed a wonderful clearing above the fjord. An instant vision flashed through my mind: “Graham you’re going to build a lodge and provide a permanent base for skiers to come and ski!” From that exact moment onwards, my life took a deviation down a road I never imagined.”
