Don't miss out on an incredible adventure as you ride at full speed over incredible snowy landscapes and observe one of Norway's best natural wonders on this amazing snowmobiling trip in the Lyngen Alps from Tromsø! Located in Troms og Finnmark County in northern Norway, the Lyngen Alps are a stunning mountain range full of snowy peaks, beautiful fjords, and an impressive Arctic fauna and flora worth discovering. They lie on the Lyngen Peninsula, which is bordered by the Lyngen Fjord to the east and Ullsfjord to the west.
This snowmobile safari from Tromsø will start from Samuel Arnesens Gate in the city. On the drive to Lyngen, you'll enjoy scenic views of the beautiful, steep alpine mountains and winding fjords. You'll also take a 30-minute ferry ride across the delightful Ullsfjord to the small village of Svensby. Then, the guide will drive you to their base camp, located in a fishing village in the northern part of the Lyngen Alps. You can also request to be picked up just from the ferry in Svensby, instead of from Tromsø.
When you arrive at the base camp, your instructor will distribute all the necessary equipment for the excursion, including warm thermal suits, helmets, and boots for your adventure. Each snowmobile will be shared between two participants, one driver and one passenger, with the chance to switch during the tour. The guide will take you through a safety briefing and driving instructions, and once you're ready, your snowmobile safari in the Lyngen Alps will start!
You'll follow your expert instructor as you travel across the snowy terrain into the magical winter wonderland of the mountains. You'll drive up to 300 metres (984 feet) above sea level, and be treated to incredible panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The Lyngen Alps are known for their rich winter fauna, so you may encounter wild species such as sea eagles, foxes, or moose along the way! Midway through your snowmobile safari in the Lyngen Alps, you'll stop for a break to take in the serene environment and swap places on the snowmobile. Then, you'll drive back to the base camp in Lyngen.
Once you've changed and returned all the equipment, you'll enjoy a delicious homemade meal in the seaside panorama restaurant Bøteriet, which will include fresh bread, a drink of your choice, and a sweet cake or waffle. While eating, you can admire the Arctic beauty of the region and learn more about the village's rich history. Once you're done, you'll retrace your steps and return to Tromsø for the end of this wonderful experience.
Take your chance to not only get to know the stunning landscapes of the Lyngen Alps, but also to enjoy a scenic journey where you don't have to worry about anything. Book your snowmobile safari in the Lyngen Alps from Tromsø today!
