Only a few places provide the extraordinary feeling of being ‘at the edge of the world’. Lying 500 km beyond the Arctic Circle and stretching along the Lyngen Peninsula in northern Norway, the Lyngen Alps are one of these rare exceptions.
Combining fjords, steep mountains plunging down to the sea and more than 100 glaciers, it’s no wonder this vast wilderness makes for a first-class ski touring destination.
Located in the stunningly beautiful island of Uloya ―a less-traveled spot in the Troms County, sitting to the east side of the Lyngenfjord― the Lyngen Outdoor Center makes an excellent starting point to explore the Norwegian Alps. Here, a team of IFMGA-certified guides and outdoor lovers offer a wide variety of activities for guests looking for an active holiday off-the-beaten-tracks.
"We deliver the unique experience of unspoilt nature in a magnificent setting_―says Artur, who is in charge of the Lyngen Outdoor Center―_ And allow you to feel the exhilarating joy of flying (because it’s not riding, it’s really flying!) in pure, untouched powder snow straight to sun-reflecting waters".
This amazing retreat in Uloya offers comfortable, warm and fully-equipped apartments just a few meters from the sea. From there, you can set out for all sorts of guided or self-guided activities.
Adventure awaits right at your doorstep!
