Highlights
Welcome to our Basecamp, located in the beautiful Lyngen Alps, where you can enjoy scenic views of mountains, fjords, and forests. Spend the night in a Crystal Lavvo cabin, heated by a wood-burning fireplace for an authentic Arctic experience. Each lavvo features a glass ceiling, allowing you to keep an eye on the sky at all times. Enjoy the freedom of having the entire night to search for the Northern Lights—whether from the warmth and coziness of your lavvo or while wandering around the basecamp. With the right conditions, you may even witness multiple “releases” throughout the night.

Itinerary
Enjoy a scenic journey from Tromsø to our basecamp, including a short ferry ride and beautiful views of mountains and fjords.
Upon arrival, you will be served a freshly prepared fish soup (please see allergy information under Additional Info). You can then join a guided 2 km nature walk, either on foot or with snowshoes, and explore the surrounding Scandinavian landscape — or simply relax at basecamp. Please note that the walk is optional and weather-dependent.
After dinner, we will tell you about the Northern Lights forecast and get the fire going in your lavvo. Once your lavvo is heated, one of our guides will accompany you there and show you how to keep the fire going throughout the night. Spend the night in your warm and cozy lavvo. You’ll have the whole night to search for the Northern Lights—whether relaxing under the lavvo’s glass ceiling or wandering around the basecamp. Please note that adding wood and maintaining the fire is part of the experience.
In the morning, you will be served a traditional Norwegian breakfast before starting the return journey to Tromsø (city center). Arrival is around 11:00 a.m.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.
