Northern Norway in Winter

< View Other Tours

Tour Overview

Travel north – even beyond Iceland – to Tromso and the Lyngen Alps of Norway, where remote fjords, snow-covered landscapes and long winter nights set the scene for a true Arctic escape. Search for orcas and humpback whales off the coast of Skjervoy, drive – or mush – your own husky sled, learn about Sami culture beside the fire and head out after dark in search of the Northern Lights. You’ll travel between destinations on the public ArcticRoute bus, sharing the road with locals as you move through northern Norway. With uncrowded landscapes, powerful nature and experiences shaped by the season, this is a fresh alternative to the Arctic’s more familiar winter destinations.

Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Search for feeding orcas, humpback whales and other marine life on a cruise through Skjervoy’s protected fjords, framed by clear Arctic air and low winter light.

  • Mush your own husky sled through the Arctic landscape, taking the reins of your dog team after learning the basics on a guided snow safari.

  • Discover the fascinating culture of the Sami people, hearing from a local about their history and traditions, meet the iconic reindeer of northern Norway and savor the belly-warming national Sami dish – bidos.

  • Linger in the sauna and outdoor hot tub above the Arctic Circle, enveloped by remote winter landscapes and ponder just how very far north you are.

  • Head outside for an extraordinary stroll, watching the sky dance with the Northern Lights – with minimal light pollution, it’s quite a show!
