Freeride skiing / snowboarding

Some mountains allow for all winter freeriding and going off-piste. There is no lifts around. You will have to climb your mountain, tstop for a minute without thinking about anything at the top, take a deep breath and feel the adrenalin of going down in fresh powder, most likely being the only one in the area. The avalanche equipment and appropriate mountaineering experience is essential. We can arrange a guide for you and your group.

Spotting northern lights

Starting from late summer throughout fall and winter we have excellent possibilities to see Northern Lights. Thanks to our remote location there is no light pollution and on a good weather day the sky is perfectly clear.

Knuten, Tungeneset or Bergsbotn are some of the excellent nearby places to spot the northern lights.

Humpback and killer whales come to Mefjord in December and stay by the coast of Senja until early February.

Some of the activities can be done individually on a self-guided basis, but in order to make best of your stay

Our best-value 3 days package is for those who like to experience the phenomenal Northern Lights, spot humpback and killer whales, untouched Norwegian nature, Arctic Colors, snowshoeing and marine landscape.
