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.
