The Lyngen Alps in Northern Norway are still an insider tip in Norway - steep mountains rise directly from the fjord and are home to many glaciers, lovely valleys, waterfalls, rivers and lakes.
Join us for a week-long adventure to experience the highlights of this region – usually on foot, but on request also by boat on the fjord. The main highlight will be the Midnight Sun or Northern Light at no additional cost!
Day 1, Friday: Arrival at Tromsø
You will be picked up by bus at Tromsø Airport for a scenic 90-minute transfer to Lyngen. This trip includes a ferry crossing over the Ullsfjord to the mighty Lyngen Alps. Your accommodation is an idyllic rorbu (fishermen’s cottage) on the water’s edge at the end of northern part of the Lyngen Alps.
After checking in, a hot dinner will be served in the café with magnificent views of the fjord and out towards the open sea.
Days 2 - 6, Saturday – Wednesday: Tours in the Lyngen Alps
You start your daily program after the breakfast (four tours included). Your tours will introduce you to different areas of the Lyngen Alps. You will travel by car to the other side of the Lyngen Alps or start your tour from the house on foot. The hikes last around six hours and are selected based on the weather conditions and group composition. Following some examples of possible excursions:
Each evening, you will be served a delicious dinner featuring traditional dishes based on fresh local ingredients. You can also relax in the sauna and jacuzzi.
Note: No tours will be arranged on one of the days. You can simply relax or choose to go fishing, visit a shrimp factory (Lyngen Reker) or go on a boat trip on the fjord.
Midnight Sun trip: The sun does not drop below the horizon during the bright summer nights. Throughout the night, the sun will provide enchanting lights on the horizon. You can go on a walk under the Midnight Sun or just enjoy the nature’s colour play. At the travel dates in august, the sun will set already for a while. However, it will not be dark during night time.
Northern Lights trip: You don’t have to like coldness and deep winter to see Northern Lights – this magical natural phenomenon shows up when the evening gets little darker. You can also enjoy the magical view while soaking in the jacuzzi. Can you imagine a more exciting evening activity?
Day 7 - Thursday: Departure
After six fascinating days in the Lyngen Alps, it’s time to say goodbye.
After the breakfast, you will travel by bus to Tromsø Airport for your flight home.
The accommodation XLyngen has five waterfront rorbu (fishermen’s cottages). Each cottage has three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and private bathroom. There is also direct access to the balcony.
The food is served in the café in the main building. There is a shared sauna and an outdoor jacuzzi, which guests may use for a fee.
The accommodation is run by a local family, so you can experience the genuine Northern Norwegian hospitality from pick-up in Tromsø through to guided tours, food and accommodation.

Visit Lyngenfjord is a destination company and incoming agency for the Lyngenfjord region in northern Norway. In 2017, the region was officially recognized as a "Sustainable Travel Region" and we are committed to these values. More about Visit Lyngenfjord»»»
The Lyngenfjord region is located in the north of Norway and lies quite exactly between the towns of Tromsø in the southwest, Alta in the north and Finland in the east.
The area consists of the islands around Skjervøy, the majestic Lyngen Alps, the large valleys and wide rivers in the east as well as the Reisa National Park and the Finnmarksvidda towards Finland. The region is quite unknown and offers many spectacular nature experiences and impressive cultural offerings that are hardly known and little visited.
The culture of the region is characterized by the "meeting of the three tribes". Kven, Sami and Norwegians have lived and worked side by side around the Lyngenfjord for generations. This has influenced the language, traditions and cultural heritage of the region.
