However, around Lyngenfjord, you can participate in organized excursions into nature. If you do it at night, you are under the open sky for the duration of the tour and will, of course, not miss anything that might appear in the night sky. Lyngenfjord has challenging geography, and driving here is more about going uphill and downhill, into valleys, through dense forests, and onto viewpoints than just speeding. All the tours, however, are suitable for beginners, and an experienced car or scooter driver will find it easy and fun. If you have no driver\u2019s license, you can sit on the back. To limit the impact on wildlife, the tours follow marked trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dog Sledding is nature&#8217;s Formula 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A running husky is a happy husky!

Time to work! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visit-lyngenfjord.com\/activities\/winter\/dogsledding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dog sledding<\/a> takes you deep into the forest along narrow trails, perfect for northern lights watching. When the green rays appear, you throw an anchor into the snow and enjoy! You can learn the technique in 30 seconds; it\u2019s all about counterbalancing with your behind and using the brake. Make sure to cuddle a lot; after all, the huskies show endless and unconditional love!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/023986_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/023986_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" alt=\"On snowshoes to the northern tip of the Lyngen Peninsula with a full view towards Karls\u00f8y on the other side \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/023986_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"On snowshoes to the northern tip of the Lyngen Peninsula with a full view towards Karls\u00f8y on the other side \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/024625_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/024625_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Fjord, mountains and aurora in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/024625_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Fjord, mountains and aurora in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3d870d87-6ca3-48f6-a62b-bcba3e8b3209.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1599\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3d870d87-6ca3-48f6-a62b-bcba3e8b3209-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Keeping warm in the shelter at Dalberget, in the mountains above Djupvik village in K\u00e5fjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3d870d87-6ca3-48f6-a62b-bcba3e8b3209.jpg\" data-caption=\"Keeping warm in the shelter at Dalberget, in the mountains above Djupvik village in K\u00e5fjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Skiing-at-Skjervoy-Dagsturhytta-pa-Finneidet-Northern-Lights-Nordlys\u00a9Petr-Pavlicek17-1.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Skiing-at-Skjervoy-Dagsturhytta-pa-Finneidet-Northern-Lights-Nordlys\u00a9Petr-Pavlicek17-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"On snowshoes out to the day cabin at Finneidet, just outside Skjerv\u00f8y \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Skiing-at-Skjervoy-Dagsturhytta-pa-Finneidet-Northern-Lights-Nordlys\u00a9Petr-Pavlicek17-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"On snowshoes out to the day cabin at Finneidet, just outside Skjerv\u00f8y \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: On snowshoes to the northern tip of the Lyngen Peninsula with a full view towards Karls\u00f8y on the other side \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Fjord, mountains and aurora in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Keeping warm in the shelter at Dalberget, in the mountains above Djupvik village in K\u00e5fjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: On snowshoes out to the day cabin at Finneidet, just outside Skjerv\u00f8y \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snowshoeing is Easy and Keeps You Warm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your skiing technique not suited for Lyngenfjord\u2019s steep and challenging terrain?

A Sami lavvu, or tent, is, of course, found out in the wilderness, far away from electric lights, and is a great place to wait for the Northern Lights to appear. When they appear, you see them the same way as the Sami saw the \u201cguovssahas\u201d \u2013 Sami for the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014107_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014107_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" alt=\"Jacuzzi under the open sky in Nordreisa is but one way to spot the Northern Lights \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014107_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Jacuzzi under the open sky in Nordreisa is but one way to spot the Northern Lights \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/013665_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/013665_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"All of a sudden, Aurora is there when you move about in Lyngenfjord in the winter \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/013665_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"All of a sudden, Aurora is there when you move about in Lyngenfjord in the winter \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014123_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014123_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Hut in the deep forests of the Reisadalen Valley \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014123_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Hut in the deep forests of the Reisadalen Valley \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014111_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014111_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Crossing a frozen lake in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/014111_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Crossing a frozen lake in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Jacuzzi under the open sky in Nordreisa is but one way to spot the Northern Lights \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: All of a sudden, Aurora is there when you move about in Lyngenfjord in the winter \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Hut in the deep forests of the Reisadalen Valley \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Crossing a frozen lake in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\/Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the Aurora the Relaxed Way \u2013 in Sauna and Jacuzzi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An age-old way to see the Northern Lights is going to the sauna.

Less traditional, but all the more relaxing, are the various<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visit-lyngenfjord.com\/activities\/sauna-spa-jacuzzi-northern-norway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hot tubs and jacuzzis <\/a>around. Many guesthouses and holiday homes have them, and they can be rented.

A dip in the snow or the nearest lake or river can be part of it, but this is in no way compulsory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hire Skis and Head into the Wild<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a multitude of Northern Lights tours on offer.

Then you can follow marked trails around the settlements in Lyngenfjord. If you\u2019re unused to cross-country skiing, pick a &#8220;gentle&#8221; trail, with few downhills. But there are also more demanding trips, notably to the Dalberget hut with a full view of the Lyngen Alps. There are also If you\u2019ve never tried skiing, hire snowshoes instead.

Own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors with the disposal of a car can chase the Northern Lights on their own. When the weather is clear all over Lyngenfjord, one can simply drive to the most beautiful place and wait. A popular place is Sp\u00e5kenes with a full view of the Lyngen Alps; others would prefer Nord-Lenangen with the vista to the remote island of Nord-Fugl\u00f8y. The twin peaks of Mount Otertinden are another favorite. If a low from the northwest, or even worse, from the southwest, has clogged the night sky, one should head to the innermost valleys, notably Skibotndalen, Signaldalen, or the end of the road in Reisadalen. Cold winds from the southeast, however, make the conditions more favorable on the coast, notably in Skjerv\u00f8y or Lenangen. Use the weather apps and study the map well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div
