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.

Spend the morning exploring the charms of Tromsø at your own pace. For breathtaking views, take a ride on the Fjellheisen Cable Car, which whisks you from Sollivegen in Tromsdalen up to the mountain ledge of Storsteinen (421 meters above sea level) in just four minutes. At the top, the viewing platform offers sweeping panoramic vistas of Tromsø and its surroundings.

If you enjoy local arts and crafts, Tromsø is home to a variety of unique design boutiques. Be sure to visit the glassblowing studio near the Polaria Museum for a glimpse of traditional craftsmanship in action.

For those with a love for nature, the Botanical Garden is a must. Thanks to the warming effects of the Gulf Stream, the garden showcases a remarkable range of plants rarely seen at such northern latitudes. It proudly holds the title of the world's northernmost botanic garden.

In the afternoon, you'll embark on a scenic 2-hour shuttle transfer from Tromsø to your base in the Alps, Lyngen Lodge, located above a fjord with a striking mountain backdrop. After you have checked in, you can 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 is set in a natural forest clearing above a fjord, framed by dramatic mountain scenery. Located high above the Arctic Circle, it offers one of Europe’s most remote and unspoilt settings.

Today’s adventure takes you deep into Reisa River National Park. Specially designed river boats travel 35 km upstream along the Reisa River, entering the heart of the spectacular Reisa Canyon. Along the way, you’ll pass dense forests, spot river wildlife, and witness cascading waterfalls lining the canyon walls.

The journey culminates at Mollisfossen, Northern Norway’s highest waterfall, plunging 275 metres from a sheer cliff into the river below. A short walk from the boat leads to the viewpoint, where you can take in the powerful scenery. After your visit, lunch will be prepared over an open fire and served in this remarkable natural setting.

Today, choose between two immersive Arctic experiences. Enjoy a peaceful sea kayaking excursion, gliding through calm fjord waters surrounded by mountains, or opt for an e-fat bike adventure, exploring the rugged coastal landscapes with ease using electric fat bikes.

For those seeking additional experiences, a range of optional activities is available:

• Hiking
• Horse riding
• Deep-sea fishing
• Glacier exploring
• Sea safari
• Visit to the Kåfjord Canyon Bridge

These options allow you to tailor the day to your interests, whether you prefer relaxation, wildlife encounters, or active exploration.

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.

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