Combine a short stay in Tromso with a combination of deluxe accommodation and first-class hosting in an exceptional location at the Lyngen Lodge. This hideaway escape is nestled along the scenic shores of the Lyngen Fjord in the heart of the Alps. There is an assortment of seasonal activities on offer and of course, the chance to spot the Northern Lights literally on your doorstep.
DAYS 4-5 Lyngen Lodge
The following activities are included:
Dogsledding- A scenic drive of around 30 minutes takes you to the Reisa Valley where you will get to know the dogs that accompany you on this dog sledding tour. You will have the added experience of being instructed how to “mush” your team of dogs under the careful supervision and guidance from a professional. Two guests per sled take turns in driving while following a guide in front. The trail winds through open valleys that capture the low Arctic sun between the high jagged peaks of the region. Half-way round the trail lunch is cooked over an open fire in large tents. Return to the lodge at the end of the tour.
Frozen Lakes Adventure- The focus of this tour is to access the high mountain terrain via snowmobile and where spectacular viewpoints are visited. Once on the mountain plateau you can join a snowshoe walk along the frozen lake or/and (if the ice is thick enough) try ice fishing on the frozen lakes for mountain trout. During this activity you will join as passenger during the snowmobile transport up to the high mountain plateau. The journey to the high lake via snow mobile takes 30 minutes through snow covered birch tree forests. Once at the lake, a shelter camp is made, and ice holes drilled through the ice so fishing can begin. If the ice is thick enough, a fire is made on the ice to cook the fresh fish directly at the camp. You will also be able to explore the surrounding area on snowmobiles in between snow shoeing and fishing sessions.
