Lyngen Lodge

The Environment - The stunning serenity of the Lyngen Alps

A stay at Lyngen Lodge is characterised by a sense of peaceful seclusion and restfulness. That being said, there are many different ways to reach us. Whether you choose to arrive by plane, car, or ferry, the journey will already offer you an enticing glimpse of the majestic Lyngen Alps, the glistening fjords, and the hundreds of small islands that dot the coasts.

Arrival

Arrive easily and safely by plane

Lyngen Lodge is located on the shore of the Lyngen Fjord, close to the picturesque village of Djupvik. The nearest large airport is in Tromsø (TOS), roughly 2.5 hours away from the lodge. Some international airports such as London Gatwick (LGW) offer direct flights to Tromsø with Norwegian Airlines. These direct flights are offered on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Otherwise, feel free to fly first to Oslo, the capital of Norway. Connections from Oslo to Tromsø take place every day of the week, and take approximately 2.5 hours, with either Norwegian Airlines or SAS.

There is also the option to add an extra flight that takes you directly from Tromsø to Sørkjosen (SOJ), the local airport a mere 15 minutes from the lodge (via SAS). This 25-minute scenic flight allows you to take in the beauty of the Lyngen Alps.

Location

The Lyngen Alps

Extending for around 90km, the Lyngen Alps dominate the skyline throughout the area. Indeed, the two ‘home mountains’ of Sorbmegaisa and Store Haugen lie directly behind Lynge Lodge, rising to heights of over 1200m. Each mountain that makes up the Lyngen Alps has its own characteristics and offers something different, with over 60 summits rising to more than 1000m. Whether you are interested in Ski Touring, Cross Country Skiing, Hiking, or even just admiring the amazing views, the Lyngen Alps make for an unforgettable landscape whatever the season or the weather in Lyngen.

Location

The Lyngen Fjord

Lyngen Lodge lies on the banks of the Lyngen Fjord, the longest fjord in the region. An offshoot of the Barents Sea, the fjord offers not just amazing panoramas and stunning vistas – it is also home to a diverse range of fish and marine animals. The Lyngen Fjord completes the experience of Summit to Sea, regardless of whether you are Deep Sea Fishing, Kayaking and PaddleBoarding in front of the Lodge, or simply watching the Midnight Sun reflect off the water after an invigorating day full of activities.

Location

The Norwegian Climate

The variation between the seasons in Northern Norway can be dramatic and noticeable, and the weather in the Lyngen Alps can vary greatly. Between November and January, the nights are long, but are often punctuated by eerily beautiful purple lights dancing on the horizon. From January onwards the sun quickly returns to the sky during the day, whilst the famous Northern Lights reveal their true colours at night-time. The warmth of summer can truly be felt between May and July, when you can also experience the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun. From August the arrival of autumn brings a host of rich new colours to the landscape, before winter returns once again.
