The Spectacular Norway in Winter: The Itinerary

Day 1: You're heading north
On the first day, you will travel by a Dash 8 (propeller plane) from Tromsø to Sørkjosen. At a low altitude, you can fly over the impressive Lyngen Alps and get an incredible first impression of the Norwegian Arctic. The flight duration is around 25 minutes. At the airport, you will be met and taken to the Reisafjord Hotel, which is located directly on the Reisafjord. From your room and the restaurant, you will have a wonderful view looking out over the fjord. In the afternoon, visit the local Museum Nord Troms and have the opportunity to visit the small village of Storslett. After dinner, you will start your first guided Northern Lights tour. After a short drive, you will find a sheltered place with snowshoes or on foot. Get cosy by the fire with some hot drinks and wait for the magic to happen! Hopefully, you will see the spectacular Northern Lights dancing above you. At midnight you will return to the hotel and get a good night of sleep.

Day 2: On the dog sled through the Reisatal
After a hearty breakfast, you will go on a dogsled through the beautiful surrounding nature, passing through frozen moors and snow-covered forests. This day is in harmony with nature and combines the beauty of the far north with winter activities. After about 30 minutes you can take a break in a lavvo and get a tasty meal. You can swap position on the dog sled and take it in turns steering the sled. On request, you can also do this tour in the afternoon. Back at the hotel, you can drink coffee and make delicious waffles - a typical Norwegian tradition. After dinner, embark on another guided Northern Lights tour, once again returning around midnight.

Day 3: Snowmobile tour or a visit to a Sami camp
After breakfast, take part in your desired tour. You can either visit a traditional Sami camp, where you will be taken on a beautiful reindeer sled tour. You can also feed the fascinating reindeer and learn a lot about this traditional way of life. If you choose the snowmobile tour, you will be driven to a frozen mountain lake. Here you will have the opportunity to drive yourself with a snowmobile and feel the adrenaline as you rush over the frozen lake. You can also go out onto the lake with snowshoes and try your hand at ice fishing. A hot meal is included with each activity. Please let us know in advance which activity you would like to participate in. In the afternoon drive to Skjervøy. There you will drive with the famous Hurtigruten to Tromsø. On the Hurtigruten, you can have dinner (not included in the tour price) as you pass by the impressive Lyngen Alps. With a little luck, you will see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky from the deck of the boat. Here your journey ends. Alternatively, you can stay one more day at the Reisafjord Hotel or drive back to Tromso.

Optional: Extending your polar adventure
If you opt for the Reisafjord Hotel, after a delicious breakfast, you can choose between various activities that can be booked as an option. These include, for example, a guided cross-country ski tour through the impressive landscape or a moose safari with snowshoes and lunch by the open fire.

The ski tour leads you to the peninsula Spåkenes, where there are many moose. Once there, you can put on your snowshoes (included in the price) and, with a little luck, you can watch the king of the Arctic forests. On the way, you stop by a fire and enjoy a warm meal with a fantastic view of the Lyngen Alps.

How about a snowmobile tour or a visit to the Sami camp? Since you can only participate in one of the activities offered on day 3, if you choose to extend your tour, you will have the opportunity to experience the other activity as well. Another exciting and very special excursion available to you is a four-hour whale safari. The killer and humpback whales hunt in the fjords around Skjervøy to Heringen in November to January and you can go out by boat to watch these impressive animals. Included in the price of the excursion are warm clothing, hot drinks, and snacks.

Cross-country ski tour (three to four hours): price 170 EUR including guide, cross-country ski equipment, hot lunch, transfer
