From Tromsø: Lyngen Alps Guided Snowmobile Tour

Description

Upon arrival at basecamp, you'll receive your snowmobiling gear—suit, boots, and helmet. Our experienced English-speaking guide will teach you how to operate the snowmobile, followed by a short practice session before the tour begins. We drive in a line, safari-style, along approved, well-established trails. The varied terrain of the Lyngen Alps offers fun and exciting driving challenges along the way. As you ride, enjoy beautiful views of mountains, forests, and fjords while experiencing the Arctic landscape from your snowmobile. The snowmobile experience lasts approximately 90 minutes, including the practice session. Each snowmobile is shared between two guests, with the opportunity to switch drivers at designated points during the tour. After the ride, you’ll return to basecamp to warm up over a bowl of traditional Norwegian fish soup before returning to Tromsø. Please see the allergy information below.

• We provide each participant with an insulated snowsuit, winter boots, and a helmet. However, you must still come prepared for cold Arctic conditions. Please bring warm layers to wear underneath the snowsuit, wool socks, gloves or mittens, and something to protect your face and neck, such as a balaclava, neck warmer, or scarf. We also recommend bringing a water bottle.

Super snowmobile driving experience

The minibus transport from Tromso to the camp and back was good and we enjoyed a good welcome, beautiful scenery and ferry crossing. Welcome on arrival at the camp. Warm clothing equipment provided. Theoretical briefing, tests of driving by snowmobile and a walk of about 1h30 in the mountains of the Lyngen Alps, through a magnificent landscape with beautiful exceptional panoramic views, especially on a fjord. Back, we have a warm lunch in their guest house. This lunch that we had to have a bit quickly was good. Back to Tromso. We made the right choice of snowmobile in the Lyngen Alps because we climb very quickly in altitude and have extraordinary panoramic views. Sensation guaranteed. We highly recommend.
