Lyngen North
A yearlong of outdoor activities
We have selected and developed some great outdoor activities suitable for all levels of experience and ability. From magical winter escapes like dog sledding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling ; to summer getaways with our onsite activities like kajakk-, SUP- and electric bike rental.
Guided Snowshoeing
Guided tour to our wilderness campsite in the outskirts of the forest. The 3 hours-long tour takes you over the open snowfields at Spåkenes. Along the way you might encounter arctic wildlife like elk (moose), rabbits, foxes and reindeer. At the campsite you can warm up inside the lavvu tent while being served a small lunch and warm drinks. Outside the tent there is a gentle slope where you can have fun racing down on a snow sled.

Dog sledding
Let the cold snow gently strike your face and feel the strength of well trained huskies, as they chart you around the scenic Reisa valley.
You will be driving your own sled of huskies through the beautiful winter wonderland at the gateway to the Reisa National Park. Transport to and from the dog sledding “camp” is included in the fare.
