Aurora Crystal Lavvo Overnight Stay

General information

5Located in beautiful Lyngen, our basecamp is surrounded by breathtaking fjords, mountains and islands. With a good distance from the city, you'll find minimal artificial light pollution — providing optimal conditions for viewing the northern lights.

Step into our Crystal Lavvo for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Sleep in a lavvo heated by a wood-burning fireplace for an authentic Arctic experience. The lavvo is equipped with a glass ceiling, allowing you to keep an eye on the sky at all times — even from the comfort of your bed.

Enjoy the freedom of spending the entire night searching for the northern lights from the warmth and comfort of your lavvo. If you're lucky, you might even catch several different “outbursts” during the night.

Transportation to Basecamp

Enjoy a scenic journey from Tromsø, including a short ferry ride with beautiful views of mountains and fjords.

Lunch: Upon arrival, you’ll be served a freshly prepared fish soup (see allergy list below) before we get ready for the activity.

Activity: Join a guided 2 km hike on foot or with snowshoes and explore the Scandinavian nature. Please note: the hike may be adjusted or cancelled depending on weather conditions.

Evening: After dinner, we will inform you about the northern lights forecast and light the fire in your lavvo.

Lavvo Experience: Once your lavvo is heated, one of our guides will escort you there and show you how to maintain the fire. Please note: the lavvo is heated using a wood-burning fireplace.

Enjoy: Spend the night in your warm and cosy lavvo. You’ll have the whole night to search for the northern lights — whether relaxing under the lavvo’s glass ceiling or wandering around the basecamp.
