Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Norway - Oslo - Lyngen Alps
100% customisable for you
Welcome on arrival, private transfer and two nights' accommodation in the heart of the Norwegian capital. Your hotel is a true Scandinavian palace, combining Gustavian and Victorian styles. Owned by the same family since the early 20th century, its unique charm and good restaurants continue to make this a destination of choice.
Included - Your Oslo Pass, to get the most out of the capital's culture. The 48-hour pass offers free access to some 30 sites and museums, public transport, municipal swimming pools, and walking routes. Discounts are also available in selected restaurants and shops.
Spend a day exploring Oslo, including the castle, the Royal Palace, the National Gallery of Fine Arts, the Munch Museet, the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the trendy Hegdehaugsveien district.
In the itinerary - A few hours with a local guide Passionate about Norway, your guide knows Oslo by heart, from the hotspots to the capital's best-kept secrets. This meeting involves an improvised walk around the city, talking about daily life in Norway and handy tips for the rest of the journey.
Just for you - Dinner reservation at the trendy Louise Restaurant, located on the old Aker Mek construction site. The cuisine strikes a balance between Norwegian tradition and international flavours - and the decor pays tribute to the sea, echoing the view overlooking the boats. Further afield, you'll visit the fjord and the Akershus fortress.
Private transfer to the airport and flight to Tromso, the largest Scandinavian city within the Arctic Circle. From there, take another private transfer (about two hours) to reach your lodge on the banks of the Lyngen fjord, not far from the small village of Olderdalen. Spend four nights in this untouched and wild setting of the Scandinavian Alps, far from the world.
Beyond the Arctic Circle, this stunning part of the far north is best visited in winter. Three full days here allows you to enjoy a large serving of clean air, lose track of time, enjoy a rare natural environment of forests, snow and frozen lakes, and rediscover a pure and deep silence to help you relax.
In the itinerary - Dog sledding. Following the impatient barks of the husky dogs ready to embark on a mad dash, the Arctic's nature reveals itself in all its splendour, with the only noise being the squeak of the sled and panting of the dogs. Halfway through, a break is scheduled to gather your strength, and those who are sharing a sled can switch places. Because steering a sled and watching nature while sitting in the sledge are two complementary experiences, and two ways of soaking up the landscape. For another experience in the snowy forests (and more squeaking snow), a snowshoe hike is also planned. You'll have access to the frozen Arctic forests surrounding the lodge, where you might be lucky enough to spot the tracks of animals (moose, lynx and wolverine), and reach high viewpoints to enjoy the views of the Lyngen Peninsula National Park. Finally, an introductory session to ice fishing is a true trapper experience.
Option - A photography safari in the fjords, searching for the Northern Lights - a cross-country ski outing.
Return private transfer to Tromso and return international flight via Stockholm.
