Autumn Northern Light Dreams in the Lyngen Alps

About XLyngen

Your base will be XLyngen – the traditional Norwegian “rorbu” houses, like you can find them along the coast of Norway. These houses are built on land but with the one end on poles in the water. So, you will never be far away from the sea.
We are two families who run this place and we will be with you during your stay, from the pick up at the airport or hotel, during the activities and in the restaurant. You will be part of our family and we will give you the attention you need to have an unforgettable holiday. 

Accommodation & Food

The 5 cabins and 2 apartments are comfortable and well equipped. Here you can escape from daily routines and stress and find peace in the quietness of the arctic nature. Every cabin has a kitchen, living room, 3 bedroom and one bathroom. When you are travelling alone or as a couple, you will have your own house and you don’t need to share the bathroom with strangers.
In our restaurant, staying on poles in the fjord, we serve you breakfast, afternoon coffee with waffles and dinner. Our food consists of local ingrediency and local recipe prepared from us.
We ask you to make your lunch at the breakfast table, so that you can take that food with you as you wish to eat during daytime.
The restaurant is as well a place to relax, to read and sit together with your friends. Here we serve you as well our afternoon coffee and tea together with cakes and waffles.

Sauna& Jazucci: You are welcome to use our sauna and the outdoor jazucci. After a long day outside it is the perfect way to relax and if you are lucky, you may see the northern lights while sitting in the warm jazucci.
