Tromsø is situated in the Northernmost reaches of Norway, and as such, can experience a climate of considerable extremes during the winter season. The winter period is characterized by cold temperatures, limited daylight hours, snowfall, and due to its coastal position can even be hit by warmer temperatures, leading to intermittent rainfall even during peak winter season. For those seeking to bask in the splendor of the Northern Lights while indulging in winter pursuits, the ideal months to plan a visit is from January to March, with December also being a viable option.

Snowmobiling in the Lyngen Alps

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure on your trip to Tromso! This morning, hop on a snowmobile and head out on a thrilling tour in the stunning Lyngen Alps, just an hour’s drive from Tromso.
