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

The Lyngen Alps are located deep inside the Arctic circle and what the European Alps experience at around 1000m is what Lyngen experiences at sea level. The sun's rays glance off the earth's surface this far north so you have less melting and less slushy snow during April and May.

Polar night darkness disappears end of January and there is 7 hours of sun light in mid February. The light between February and March is totally unique and you have the feeling of skiing in a permanent sunrise and sunset atmosphere this is the best time to experience the true Arctic light and the Northern Lights phenomena. The sun rises 15 minutes earlier each day.
