Lyngenfjord

Lyngenfjord is towering mountains, fjords and forests. Northern Lights in a dry climate, exhilarating off-piste skiing and a heritage of 3 cultures add to the experience.

Lyngenfjord is one of Norway’s most impressive fjords

Reaching heights of 1800 meters, the Lyngen Alps are a landscape of sharp peaks, waterfalls and many small glaciers. Behind the mighty Lyngenfjord are the large islands and the deepest forests alogn the Reisa River.

Come for Northern lights and Skiing in Winter and Hiking and Cycling in summer

The dry climate created by the Lyngen Alps means you have good chances here to see the Northern Lights. Deep powder snow attracts skiers from around the World in winter while the summers are dry and sunny allowing you to ditch the skis and mountain bike or hike to the mountain tops.

Three languages are spoken here

The sea Sami in Manndalen weave in a traditional way that stretches back several thousand years. In Reisadalen, Kven culture lives in the forest landscape. And the old houses at Handelsstedet Havnes are evidence of the fishing exports along the coast.
