Lyngen Lodge - Luxury resort in northern Norway - Winter and Summer season activities

August: Glacier exploring and Reisa river boat trip with our visiting Norwegian group. The Strupbreen glacier was in perfect condition for some ice climbing and the Reisa River Mollisfossen waterfall provided as usual an outstanding adventure with cloudless blue skies. Photos from the last two days beginning with our latest visitor was this giant seal approx 6m long wighing about 1000kg fishing for cod just outside the lodge this morning.


Today's surpise visitor - huge seal catching a cod breakfast outside the lodge


Not sure if the seal is eyeing me or the ducks up next....


Glacier adventure - learning the techniques for ice climbing


Lars swinging some axes up a 8m ice wall


No place for golf - that's a rather large hole down there...

August: Full moon over the Lyngen Fjord, our nights are slowly drawing and the northern lights season is arriving so I'll be updating with some photos when they occur. Photo taken from outside the lodge.



August: Glacier exploring in the Lyngen Alps up to the Steindalsbreen. Our groups from France and the UK enjoyed discovering the ins and outs of glaciology and even tried their arms at ice climbing and BBQ'ing Norwegian style...


Pierre getting to grips with the ice tools




Wonderful valley approach to the glacier


Kerry - next step Eiger North Face


There's a mad man in red on the end of my rope - Ian chomping at the horses bit for some vertical ice action... taking it fully in his stride



River boat trip up the Reisa River to visit the Mollisfossen waterfall which at the moment is in full flow The drop is 274m and spray from the fall makes the surrounding area seem like a rain forest. It's now possible to kayak down river and make an overnight camp and fish for salmon. Anyone interested in a Reisa River boat fishing tour contact us here Salmon Fishing Norway>>



June 24: Mid Summer nights with 24 hours sunlight. Christian and Michaela from Austria are both relaxing and organising their wedding plans for next summer in a stress free environment! Two of our Norwegian guests took the Reisa River tour today by boat and couldn't believe the incredible nature inside their own country. Good weather continuing.


Christian and Micheala enjoying the evening sun light

June 21: The Reisa River is in full flow and perfect for boating up to the Mollisfossen waterfall.

I've never seen so much water plunging over the 270m drop. The blast from the air wave created from waterfall is enough to blow you over on the walk up to the high view point (optional!) Our groups today staying at the lodge are from Austria, UK and Norway. It's full summer here and the action is just beginning with our mountain activities. If you're looking for a weekend away give us a call and let us help organize a visit to the lodge.


At the Mollisfossen - they look happy because I'm cooking lunch over the fire


Checking the map - has anyone any clue where we are..??


The river boat trip for 35km through breathtaking scenery


The walk up the ridge to the view point, you'll get wet and blown over but it's totally worth it...

June 17: Ray and Liz from the UK are here to visit the Arctic for 5 days and for the first day opted for the trekking tour to the magnificent view point at Dalberget 500m above the fjord. The views over the Lyngen Alps and the entire fjord are impressive from here and even better when lunch is served over a reindeer skin!



June: We welcome the 50th Birthday party of Anne Jenssen from Kåfjord who with friends spent a evening at the lodge celebrating. Gratulere med dagen Anne!
