Full description

Then head out of town by express boat to Nord-Lenangen, near the Lyngen Alps. You will be met and transferred to Lyngen Experience Lodge where you will be well looked after by Reidun Nilsen and her team. The location of the lodge is stunning, with far reaching views of the mountains and fjords from the panoramic windows in the comfortable lounge area. The Lodge has only 9 rooms with high quality furnishings throughout and offers great personal service and attention to detail. From the Lodge there are several winter excursions which can be pre-booked, as well as a Relax area with sauna and Jacuzzi. The remote setting away from city lights means you can see the aurora should it make an appearance, without having to venture far from the Lodge.
