Lyngen Lodge Experience3 Night Trip

One you arrive in Tromso you will be transferred to our property, the Lyngen Experience Lodge, once you have settled into your rooms and had dinner you will get ready to head out on a special Midnight Sun hike to Lyngstuve Lighthouse.

Lyngstuva, located at the tip of the Lyngen Peninsula, offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Hamreffjorden, Vannøya, Reinøya, Ullsfjorden, Fugløysundet, and Lyngen. The 3-kilometre path from the car park to Lyngstuva is an easy trip, passing by Sami, Kven, and Norwegian cultural monuments.

Along the way, there are well-organized rest areas with gap huts, bonfires, tables, and benches, inviting you to pause and admire the scenery. At the trail’s end, you’ll find a charming small lighthouse and cabin, providing a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding islands and fjords.

We embark from the Nord Lenangen docks and set sail for approximately an hour and a half through the majestic fjords, until we reach the southern tip of Uløya Island at Havness. This breathtaking area is listed on Olavrose, a recognized catalogue of Norwegian heritage, and presents itself like an open museum that beautifully showcases Norway’s northernmost trading post, which remains in operation to this day.

As we explore the enchanting island, it reveals a wealth of knowledge and history. We learn about the fascinating stockfish production and delve into the stories behind each building, some of which were constructed as early as the 1700s and still thrive with vitality. With a history dating back around 6,000 years, Havness has witnessed the passage of time and endured various chapters, including the German occupation during World War II.

During our visit, we have the privilege of savoring a prepacked lunch, all while enjoying a magnificent view and experiencing the island’s unparalleled hospitality.

When you return in the afternoon you will have some time to relax or perhaps explore some further areas on foot.

From there, you will embark on a scenic hike which will be approximately 4 kilometres, ultimately arriving at the captivating lake. Once there, you’ll savour some refreshing treats and, for the daring souls, an opportunity to take a dip in the invigorating, ice-cold water, which never exceeds a temperature of 4 degrees.

This unforgettable journey entails exploring diverse terrains within a majestic landscape.
