Okay
Far inside the Arctic Circle in the heart of the northern Norwegian fjords there is something quite special. Lyngen Lodge offers a touch of luxury on the Lyngenfjord.
‘Small scale’ and ‘genuine’ are key words here. With just eight rooms and a warming real log fire, there is a very relaxed and informal atmosphere. This is a place to relax, escape and take a well-earned break from our modern chaotic world.
Leave your body clock at home, it simply won’t work here as day and night become one. The midnight sun is one of the most magical and surreal things you can experience. It will leave you wanting more!
Beautiful scenery, high mountains, and an impressive fjord mean that there is no end to the activities and excursions available here. Glacier walking, hiking, sea kayaking and nature safaris are just some of the activities available at Lyngen Lodge during the summer. The scenery is outstanding and to make the most of it, make sure you take your walking shoes. During the evening give your feet a rest and take a dip in the hot tub. This is a true luxury-in-experience holiday.
The best time to see the midnight sun is late May, June and July when the sun does not set and simply casts a beautiful yellow light across the night sky. Northern Norway really is a very special location. Renting a car gives you that little bit of extra freedom during your stay at Lyngen Lodge. A drive through the Norwegian fjords is really something quite special.
As Scandinavian travel specialists, we can combine many of our holidays in Norway to find the best package for you, please ask! Including a hire car in your Lyngen Lodge holiday is an option for those looking to explore a little further into the fjords and mountains.

Cosy luxury far inside the Arctic Circle. This is the Arctic and even in the summer and under the midnight sun the weather can be unpredictable - part of the attraction of this wonderful part of our fragile world.
Lyngen Lodge is located in the Lyngenfjord offering spectacular views across the fjord and of the Lyngen Alps. The transfer from Tromso airport is part of the whole experience. It includes two ferry journeys across the Lyngen- and Ullsfjords and the Breivik valley.
Lyngen Lodge is located 30 metres above sea level and offers views over the Lyngenfjord and across the Lyngen Alps. There are eight cosy en-suite rooms, a comfortable lounge with a welcoming open fireplace, and a sauna and outdoor hot tub, perfect for relaxing in under the midnight sun. Serious consideration has been given to energy efficiency and insulation. Grass roofs provide excellent insulation and geothermal energy is a green and cost-effective way of heating.
Your meals are an important part of your stay and you will be catered for on a full board basis. Fish is a key ingredient throughout Norway and in this part of Norway, so are moose and reindeer.
Guided & self-guided excursions. Some tours are for a minimum of four adults but don't worry if you are too few. There is a good chance of more people being found locally to make up the numbers. Just let us know which activities you would like to book and we will schedule these to match the programme at Lyngen Lodge. Children between the ages of four and twelve are half price for these activities.
Reisa River Boat Trip
Specially designed river boats take you on a journey along the Reisa River, 35 km deep inside the Reisa Canyon. Along this scenic journey dense forests, river wildlife and waterfalls dominate the views on all sides. Northern Norway’s highest waterfall, 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 over the impressive sights, lunch will be prepared over an open fire and served after your waterfall visit.
Duration: 7hrs.
Fitness / skills: Normal level of fitness
Price: £223 per adult.
Reisa River Boat Trip - Extended
An extended version of the above excursion. Continuing up river by boat beyond the Mollisfossen waterfall gives access to a 4 hour round trek to the famous “Box Canyon” at Imofossen waterfalls. Two rivers, one originating from Finland and the other from Norway, plunge down two sides of the narrow canyon rock walls and join forces on their journey downriver.
Duration: 10hrs.
Fitness / skills: Reasonable level of fitness
Price: £300 per adult.
Sea Safari Tour Lyngenfjord
Experience marine life and dramatic scenery aboard the Spirit of Lyngen boat that provides fast access to amazing areas of outstanding beauty and interest around the Lyngenfjord and surrounding islands.
This scenic journey is filled with dramatic coastlines filled with glaciers and mountains rising vertically out from deep fjords. Observe Europe's largest bird of prey, the Havørn (Sea Eagle), and numerous migratory sea birds nesting on the high cliffs. Humpback and springer whales will be feeding throughout the Lyngenfjord. Try your hand at fishing for cod and halibut from the boat with expert guidance in these rich waters.

Deep Sea Fishing for Arctic Fish
Fishing in the Lyngenfjord surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery, calm seas and a large variety of fish is without doubt a fisherman's dream.

Duration: 3hrs.
Fitness / skills: Reasonable level of fitness
Price: £120 per adult.
Kåfjord Canyon Bridge Trek
Leaving the fjord scenery behind, this tour enters inland Norway and Northern Europe’s deepest canyon. As if chopped with a giant axe, the canyon at its narrowest point is only a few meters wide and the sheer rock walls drop over 150 meters to the river below. This spectacular natural attraction is viewed from an airy single span pedestrian bridge which not only overlooks the deepest part of the canyon but also the magnificent waterfall that flows over its edge. The region was once mined for copper and this tour can also include the old outdoor museum. Distance 6km through flat valley. Guided and unguided.
Duration: 5hr
Fitness / skills: Reasonable level of fitness
Price: £131 per adult.
Mountain Trek 1
Trekking to Lyngen National Park view point. Directly behind the lodge stands the Storehaugen mountain at 1124m.

Duration: 7hr
Fitness / skills: Reasonable level of fitness
Price: £163 per adult.

Reindeer observing and dry fish hike on Uløya Island. A short scenic journey by boat from the lodge reaches Uløya Island.

This region is home to hundreds of summer migrating reindeer who seek the coolness of the altitude and the lingering summer snow patches. It is possible to get close and observe behaviour and take as many pictures as you like. (minimum four when guided).
Duration: 8hr
Fitness / skills: Reasonable level of fitness
Price: £196 per adult.
Lowland Trekking Tour
Dramatic Arctic landscape, the brilliant midnight sun and being surrounded by fjords, provides an unforgettable trekking experience. Choose between various grades of trails from high mountain summits to mid forest trails, or stroll along sand covered beaches of a remote island in the Lyngenfjord. Your lodge guide will bring an added dimension to your tour by explaining about life in the Arctic and the natural surroundings. Treks are accessed either directly from the lodge, via lodge bus, or across the fjord by boat.
Duration: 2hr
Fitness / skills: Normal level of fitness
Price: £76 per adult.
Glacier Explorer
Glaciers hold thousands of years of history and endless tales of adventure. This extraordinary tour located opposite the lodge and only accessible via boat, offers a truly unique experience for those seeking adventure. After a journey by boat to the Glacier Bay, the two hour hike begins over rough terrain before the crystal blue ice of the Strupbreen glacier is reached. After a short training session with our qualified guides, guests will explore the caves, crevasses and understand the physics of glaciology.
