Against a stunningly scenic backdrop enjoy winter activities, relax in boutique accommodation and watch out for the northern lights.
With a wealth of excellent restaurants, cafes and bars, plenty of shopping opportunities and city attractions, a host of thrilling winter activities and options to chase the northern lights, Tromso offers a fantastic gateway to exploring the wider region, which on this break focuses on the Lyngen Alps
From the city travel 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. Choose from a selection of winter activities, which can be pre-booked and find time to relax in the sauna and Jacuzzi and soak up the scenery from the delightful lounge area. The remote setting away from city lights also means you'll be ideally positioned to see the aurora borealis should they appear.
