Tackling the peaks and glaciers is perhaps best left to the most experienced hikers and climbers, but at both Svensby and in the valleys of Furuflaten there are plenty of opportunities for the less experienced.

From here the impressive mountain range reveals itself in all its glory. The 20-minute ferry trip over to Svensby offers exceptional panoramic views. The quayside cafe sells delicious \u201clefser\u201d, a kind of potato cake. At the tourist information office at the quayside in Svensby, ask about the path over to Jegervatnet lake. Close by lies Gamslett, a preserved Sea Sami farm from the 1800s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-short-but-dramatic-drive-through-the-lyngen-mountains\">A short but dramatic drive through the Lyngen Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip across the Lyngen peninsula is short, but dramatic. In fair weather you can see Jiekkevarri, at 1,833 m it is the highest peak in Troms County. Lyngseidet is a pretty, well-kept coastal village, with many old houses, shops and cafes. And Lyngen Church, built in 1740, is well worth a visit. The world\u2019s tallest plastic gnome \u2013 measuring an impressive 9 m \u2013 stands tucked away behind the quayside. Gollis, as he is called, is proof indeed of the locals\u2019 lively sense of humour. The nearby hostelry, Stigen, specialises in dishes using goat\u2019s produce!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\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\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-4-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-4-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" alt=\"The Ullsfjord Ferry leaving Breivikeidet on its way to the Lyngen Alps across the fjord \u00a9 Shigeru Ohki - Visit Troms\u00f8-region\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-4-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Ullsfjord Ferry leaving Breivikeidet on its way to the Lyngen Alps across the fjord \u00a9 Shigeru Ohki - Visit Troms\u00f8-region\" \/>\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\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-1-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-1-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Goat cheese production \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-1-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Goat cheese production \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" \/>\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\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-3-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-3-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Off piste wandering \u00a9 Svein Petter Aagaard\/NordNorsk Reiseliv_Lyn\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ATW-Winter-at-North-Cape-3-Photo-Credit-@Destinasjon-71-grader-Nord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Off piste wandering \u00a9 Svein Petter Aagaard\/NordNorsk Reiseliv_Lyn\" \/>\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: The Ullsfjord Ferry leaving Breivikeidet on its way to the Lyngen Alps across the fjord \u00a9 Shigeru Ohki &#8211; Visit Troms\u00f8-region<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Goat cheese production \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Off piste wandering \u00a9 Svein Petter Aagaard\/NordNorsk Reiseliv_Lyn<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hire-a-horse-on-your-journey\">Hire a horse on your journey <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heading south from Lyngseidet along the Rv 868 you will see Solhov College (Solhov Folkeh\u00f8gskole), one of Norway\u2019s largest wooden buildings.

At the farm, Bomstad G\u00e5rd, just before Nordkjosbotn, you can buy locally made goat\u2019s cheese. The traditional inn, Vollan Gjestestue, is the place for local food, with horsemeat being among the kitchen\u2019s specialties.
