Tromsø & Lyngen Alps - summer

Arrive into Tromsø¸ and make your own way to the hotel. Located 400km north of the Arctic Circle at 69˚N, the small town of Tromsø bills itself as Norway's gateway to the Arctic, and there's definitely more than a hint of polar atmosphere around town. Surrounded by fjords and mountain peaks that remain snowcapped for much of the year, Tromsø offers polar museums and arctic themed attractions.

Enjoy one of the seafood restaurants on the harbour this evening.

A guided city walk takes you on a historical and cultural city walk through Tromsø city, including Polar Museum and ending at the Polaria aquarium and environmental centre.

In the morning, we will pick you up in Tromsø for the 2-hour drive to your base in the Alps, Lyngen Lodge, located above a fjord with a striking mountain backdrop. After you have checked in, you can enjoy lunch on the open deck if you wish. Head off beach combing this afternoon or your choice of activities.

This evening, sit back with a glass of wine by the windows before enjoying your gourmet dinner, sourced locally with a seafood focus. Remember that during summer, you will be able to enjoy the midnight sun with sunset late in the evening and rising again around 2-3am.

Lyngen Lodge sits in a natural forest clearing above a fjord with a striking mountain backdrop. High in the Arctic Circle, it's as remote a spot as you could hope to find, in Europe at least.

The Reisa River National Park is packed full of breathtaking sights, sounds and adventures. Specially designed river boats journey up the Reisa River for 35 km to reach deep inside the Reisa Canyon. Along this scenic journey, dense forests, river wildlife and waterfalls dominate the views on all sides.
Arrive at Northern Norway ́s highest waterfall the Mollisfossen cascades 275m over a sheer cliff to the river below. The waterfall is reached within a short walk from the boat and as you marvel at the impressive sights, lunch will be prepared over an open fire and served after your waterfall visit.

The next day choose between Sea Kayaking or an E-Fat bike adventure.

Other optional activities on offer:

• Hiking
• Horseriding
• Deepsea Fishing
• Glacier Exploring
• Sea Safari
• Kåfjord Canyon Bridge

After breakfast, return transfer to Tromsø and enjoy your last evening in the far north. Consider a spa cruise on the Vulkana, perhaps?

Enjoy a free morning in Tromsø to explore the rest of the city. Recommended is a tour on the cable car that takes you up above the city with spectacular views of the islands, Alps and fjord beyond the city.

If you wanted to stay longer up north please ask us for extra nights or extending your trip in other ways.
