CLimATe & CLoThing In spite of their location so far north, Tromsø and Lyngen both enjoy a moderate insular climate. Sum-mer weather ranges from 5 °C and rain to 28 °C and fantastic swimming conditions for the undaunted. The weather in Tromsø is unpredictable. It can change rapidly, from fine and warm to cold and rainy. If you go on a day trip or a longer hike, it is best to be prepared for this change in weather conditions to make sure you have a nice experience. Regardless of the season, clothing must be able to transport moisture away from your body. Consider the conditions and the level of activity on the trip, and dress accordingly, in layers: first a layer of underwear, then one or more intermediate layers and, finally, an outer layer. Multiple layers of cloth-ing enable you to regulate warmth and protection by putting on or taking off garments. (Source: The Norwegian Trekking Association)

midnighT Sun & nATure The Midnight sun is an arctic phenomenon where the sun remains visible at midnight. This can be experienced between May 19 and July 26 in Tromsø. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours. This creates a unique atmosphere in the city and inspires increased activity. We have selected a sample of activities for those who don’t want to waste the long summer night. If your primary interest is to enjoy the Arctic nature, there are also daytime activities to choose from.

mounTAinS & gLACierS Given its location on an island surrounded by steep mountains and peaks, it is natural for Tromsø to offer a wide variety of activities for those who prefer heights. If you have some extra time, we recommend a trip to Lyngen. Mountain peaks rising 1833 m directly from the fjord, blue glaciers, cascading rivers, gleaming mountain lakes, deep ravines and black scree combine to create the unique landscape we call the Lyngen Alps.
