Up to 1833 metres high, the Lyngen Alps, <em>Lyngsalpan<\/em>, act as a barrier to the clouds. The big islands in the North, notably Arn\u00f8ya and K\u00e5gen, act as a cork against the sudden Arctic lows. The Lyngenfjord area thus enjoys a stable, more continental type of weather than most of the Northern Norwegian coast. The fjord settlement of Skibotn is one of the driest spots in Northern Europe, with a mere 300 mm of annual precipitation. Similarly dry conditions are found all along the inner Lyngen Fjord and up along the Reisa river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-less-clouds-means-more-northern-lights\">Less clouds means more Northern Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You guessed it; when there are less clouds, there are more clear, starry nights. This means you have better chances of spotting the Northern Lights. The<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/what-are-the-northern-lights\/\"> Aurora Oval<\/a>, the belt with maximum Northern Lights activity goes around the planet in a circle around the magnetic North Pole, and passes over the Lyngenfjord area every evening. But it takes clear skies to see the lights, and with Lyngenfjord\u2019s dry, stable climate, one has increased chances compared with other destinations under the Northern Lights oval. &nbsp;<\/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\/2020\/03\/image2-scaled.jpeg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2-2048x1365.jpeg\" alt=\"The clear skies in Tamokdalen offer great viewing for the aurora borealis \u00a9 William Copeland\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image2-scaled.jpeg\" data-caption=\"The clear skies in Tamokdalen offer great viewing for the aurora borealis \u00a9 William Copeland\" \/>\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\/03\/229904971-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/229904971-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Calm aurora nights in camp Tamok \u00a9 Lyngsfjord Adventure\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/229904971-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"Calm aurora nights in camp Tamok \u00a9 Lyngsfjord Adventure\" \/>\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\/03\/image1456-scaled.jpeg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image1456-768x512.jpeg\" alt=\"Strong aurora over excited guests \u00a9 William Copeland\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image1456-scaled.jpeg\" data-caption=\"Strong aurora over excited guests \u00a9 William Copeland\" \/>\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\/03\/963710049.jpg\" data-size=\"2385x1590\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/963710049-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Snowmobiling under the aurora \u00a9 Lyngsfjord Adventure\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/963710049.jpg\" data-caption=\"Snowmobiling under the aurora \u00a9 Lyngsfjord Adventure\" \/>\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 clear skies in Tamokdalen offer great viewing for the aurora borealis \u00a9 William Copeland<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Calm aurora nights in camp Tamok \u00a9 Lyngsfjord Adventure<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Strong aurora over excited guests \u00a9 William Copeland<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Snowmobiling under the aurora \u00a9 Lyngsfjord Adventure<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sometimes-the-outer-coast-is-the-best\">Sometimes the outer coast is the best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no rule without exception.

This can also be the case when unseasonably warm and humid storms hit the Baltic Sea, sending mild, dry F\u00f6hn winds down our side. Then the outer coast is the place to be. From vantage points at the fjord entrance and on the big islands, one can spot the Northern Lights dance over jagged mountain or even the open sea.

Daytime tours are good to see the landscape, and night-time tours allow you to see the Northern Lights if they turn up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reindeer-sledding-is-the-most-traditional-transport-in-lyngenfjord\">Reindeer sledding is the most traditional transport in Lyngenfjord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once, trade routes across Northern Scandinavia brought trade commodities to winter markets on the Lyngen Fjord, and the premier means of transport was the reindeer sleigh. Replaced long ago by modern vehicles, reindeer sledding is a fun and tranquil way of exploring the winter landscapes. Reindeer are not prone to speeding, so you get close to wildlife and scenery. A meal in a Sami lavvu is of course part of it. You can also choose to do it at night, to see the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div

You soon discover that you do much better than you thought. With a snowmobile, you can get deep into the wilderness and high up in the mountains for views of the stunning landscapes. Tours are also offered at night, which is a very good chance to spot the Northern Lights. Snowmobiling follows guidelines that ensure a minimum impact on wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-winter-the-orcas-come-in-for-a-herring-buffet\">In winter, the orcas come in for a herring buffet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scandinavians love their herring, including the local <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/tema\/arctic-wildlife-in-northern-norway\/\">orcas<\/a>. The last few years, billions of herring have gathered and the northern end of the fjords, around the fishing village of Skjerv\u00f8y, awaiting the spawning season. Where there is herring, there are also orcas. Organised tours go out to see them, and you can observe the pack of orcas sea encircling shoal of herring. One by one, according to rank, they help themselves to mouthfuls with hundreds of herring at the time. Humpbacks and finn whales also join in at the festive herring buffet. &nbsp;Whale safari are rules to follow, so that we can observe without disturbing. All this happens sometimes between November and the first days of February. However, this might change soon, as new generations of herring might want to wander.<\/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\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.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\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.jpg\" alt=\"Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y is exciting \u00a9 Francisco Damm\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y is exciting \u00a9 Francisco Damm\" \/>\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\/2021\/08\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm6.jpg\" data-size=\"1149x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm6-768x535.jpg\" alt=\"Humpback out hunting \u00a9 Francisco Damm\/Green Gold of Norway\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm6.jpg\" data-caption=\"Humpback out hunting \u00a9 Francisco Damm\/Green Gold of Norway\" \/>\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\/2021\/08\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm3.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\/2021\/08\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm3-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"The humpback gathers speed deep down, then gulps 1500 herrings in one go and lands heavily on the surface.

In winter, they are covered by snow from the sea all the way to the summit.

In the Reisa valley, around Skibotn and also elsewhere, most people have Kven ethnicity, although the language is spoken only by a few. It is based on ancient Finnish dialects, with plenty of words borrowed from Norwegian and Sami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-norwegian-fishing-culture\">Norwegian fishing culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/havnnes-trading-post-is-a-living-museum\/\">Havnnes<\/a> is an old trading post, with houses dating back to the 18<sup>th<\/sup> and 19<sup>th<\/sup> c. Here, stockfish is still produced, the reason why Norwegians settled on the outer coast from the 14<sup>th<\/sup> c. onwards. Today, Norwegian is spoken by everyone, and mostly as a first language. &nbsp;<\/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\/10\/frozen-waterfall-reisa-national-park.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\/10\/frozen-waterfall-reisa-national-park.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen waterfalls in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/frozen-waterfall-reisa-national-park.jpg\" data-caption=\"Frozen waterfalls in the Reisa National Park \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\/10\/skiing-into-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek.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\/10\/skiing-into-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"The Reisadalen Valley is a landscape of forests and mountains \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/skiing-into-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Reisadalen Valley is a landscape of forests and mountains \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\/10\/skiing-on-the-frozen-river-petr-pavlicek.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\/10\/skiing-on-the-frozen-river-petr-pavlicek-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"On skis up the Reisadalen Valley in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/skiing-on-the-frozen-river-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"On skis up the Reisadalen Valley 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\/10\/frozen-waterfall-lyngenfjord-reisa-river-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-size=\"720x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/frozen-waterfall-lyngenfjord-reisa-river-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen waterfall in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/frozen-waterfall-lyngenfjord-reisa-river-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"Frozen waterfall in the Reisa National Park \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: Frozen waterfalls in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The Reisadalen Valley is a landscape of forests and mountains \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: On skis up the Reisadalen Valley in Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Frozen waterfall in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-palate-should-also-taste-lyngenfjord\">Your palate should also taste Lyngenfjord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lyngen Lamb is a delicacy that should not be missed. You taste all the Arctic herbs and flowers in the midnight sun with every mouthful. Prawns fished in the Lyngen Fjord are big, succulent, and tasty. Local eateries prepare them with home made sauces and mayonnaises, but if hard pressed you can buy them in a paper bag and eat them like sweets. Throw the shells to the seagulls. The sirup made of wild berries in Nordreisa is an excellent gift idea, and is perfect over ice cream. Rognballsuppe is something to look out for, a hearty meat soup with balls made out of fish roe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-eateries-are-modest-but-immensely-popular\">The eateries are modest, but immensely popular<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant scene in Lyngenfjord lacks sorely in snob factor and trend consciousness.

allowing you full freedom to travel. It is a good idea to have tried driving in wintry conditions before, but the tyres are studded, and the roads usually well cleared and sanded. Make sure to inform yourself on weather conditions before setting off. Do not expect there to be a car available on short notice, rental cars should be booked well ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-public-transport-to-lyngenfjord-is-easier-than-you-think\">Public transport to Lyngenfjord is easier than you think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two daily bus connections from Troms\u00f8 to the Lyngenfjord area, along the E8, E6 and Rv 91 route to notably Lyngseidet, Skibotn, Olderdalen, Skjerv\u00f8y and Storslett.

If you have a week in winter, you could spend the week-end days in merry Troms\u00f8, then spend the weekdays in snowy, dry, beautiful Lyngen.<\/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\/10\/snowshoeing-nordreisa-petr-pavlicek.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\/10\/snowshoeing-nordreisa-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" alt=\"Snowshoeing under the pine trees along the Reisa River \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/snowshoeing-nordreisa-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"Snowshoeing under the pine trees along the Reisa River \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\/10\/pause-snowshoeing-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek.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\/10\/pause-snowshoeing-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"A landscape of stone in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pause-snowshoeing-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"A landscape of stone in the Reisa National Park \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\/10\/Reisa-river-snowshoe-lyngnfjord-petr-pavlicek.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\/10\/Reisa-river-snowshoe-lyngnfjord-petr-pavlicek-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Touring the Reisa winter \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Reisa-river-snowshoe-lyngnfjord-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"Touring the Reisa 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\/10\/snowshoes-in-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek.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\/10\/snowshoes-in-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"On snowshoes in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/snowshoes-in-reisa-national-park-petr-pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"On snowshoes in the Reisa National Park \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: Snowshoeing under the pine trees along the Reisa River \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: A landscape of stone in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Touring the Reisa winter \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: On snowshoes in the Reisa National Park \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-organise-it-all-yourself-or-have-visit-lyngenfjord-do-it\">Organise it all yourself, or have Visit Lyngenfjord do it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy way of doing things is to book a hotel in Troms\u00f8, accommodation in Lyngen through the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visit-lyngenfjord.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Lyngenfjord <\/a>and a rental car, all online.

Clear skies increase your chance of spotting the lights. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where do I get more information about Lyngenfjord?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tVisit Lyngenfjord is the local travel organisation, providing travel information and marketing tour packages and single tours and experiences. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-lyngenfjord-is-the-northern-lights-fjord\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Norway-184.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Norway-184.jpg"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-lyngenfjord-is-the-northern-lights-fjord\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Lyngenfjord is the Northern Lights fjord"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/","name":"Visit Northern Norway","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/#organization","name":"Visit Northern Norway","url":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Logo_Vertikal_EN.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Logo_Vertikal_EN.png","width":2482,"height":1754,"caption":"Visit Northern Norway"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NorthernNorway","https:\/\/x.com\/NorthernNorway","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/northernnorway\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/nordnorsk-reiseliv-as","https:\/\/no.pinterest.com\/northernnorway\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/VisitNorthernNorway\/"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artikler\/8611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artikler"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artikler"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artikler\/8611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15880,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artikler\/8611\/revisions\/15880"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"todo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/todo?post=8611"},{"taxonomy":"facilities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/facilities?post=8611"},{"taxonomy":"season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/season?post=8611"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=8611"},{"taxonomy":"malgrupper","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/malgrupper?post=8611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
