Travel to the Lyngen Alps is by arranged transfer from Tromso city centre at 15.00 hours, taking you to the Arctic Panorama Lodge, located on the island Uløya in the eastern part of Lyngenfjord. The journey takes just over 3 hours and offers the perfect chance to acclimatise to the stunning Arctic scenery.
You’ll have time to settle into your accommodation. With just six rooms and six suites in total, you will be among a small group of travellers. The lodge makes full use of its position overlooking the surrounding fjord and mountains. The wide panoramic window opens up to stunning scenery, and ample chances to enjoy the view by day, when elk and reindeer can wander past or occasionally whales can be seen in the fjord, or at night, when the Aurora comes out to play.
The island location offers the perfect opportunity for today’s whale safari. To get a view from the water of this magnificent setting and the local wildlife which includes orca and humpback whales is a special experience. Your hosts own the boat and have years of experience in these waters, giving the best chance to spot these majestic animals. If you get a little chilly whilst searching for the whales, you can sit in the heated cabin until that magical moment when the whales appear.
After dinner, gather around the camp fire for an enchanting evening of storytelling, folklore and traditions.
Throughout your stay make full use of the spa facilities at the lodge. Sit in the outdoor hot tub and admire the views across the fjord or the northern lights in the skies above, relax weary muscles in the traditional sauna, but dare you take a dip in the fjord afterwards for that real sauna experience?
In the evening, enjoy storytelling around a campfire in a traditional teepee style tent used by the Sámi people. Here you’ll get a chance to learn about the rich culture of northern Norway and the Sámi culture with help from a native guide who provides an insight into the way of life of living in the north as a reindeer herder.
