XLyngen

Booked snowmobiling for 3 of us with xlyngen via manawa on the Internet. Excellent trip and would love to do it again. About 7 and a half hours total round trip including about 90 mins of this actual total driving on the snowmobiles and additional breaks whilst out to enjoy scenery etc. Fantastic scenery on jiurney and at site. So on arctic bus from ttomso to ferry then picked up by xlyngen minibus at svensby and taken to base for suiting up before being taken to snowmobiles. 8 snowmobiles in group (2 people per snowmobile unless pay double and have sole occupancy) plus 4 guides. Well looked after with help getting ready and shown how to drive etc and safety aspects. Went in convoy with guides leading, trailing and in middle of group making sure we were all ok. Out initially along the flat on marked trail and then up the mountainside on a bendy and varied route. Superb views despite the poor weather and interesting varied route unlike some. Opportunities to swap driver and photos. On the way back we were given the opportunity to drive out of line on a circuit round a flat plateau area so people who wanted to could go faster which was fun. After, we were taken to the hotel restaurant on the waterside and given delicious fish soup and norwegian waffle. Would love to stay there and eat there! All the staff were so friendly and helpful and keen to make sure we all had a good time. Totally recommend and time went too quickly.

We took part in the snowmobiling activity that XLyngen offer, and what a brilliant experience, with such a brilliant company from start to finish. It was explained to us that this is a family run business - the love and care that goes into what they do to make sure everyone has a great experience was so apparent! We opted to drive ourselves to the location so that we could explore if we wanted to - there was parking, but you also could opt for a transfer from Tromso town centre. When we arrived, we were immediately met by several guides who were so friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable on what they do. We were suited and booted, given shoes, a ski suit, gloves, and a helmet (I believe I saw neck warmers/balaclavas also but we didn’t use these). We waited a short while for everyone to finish getting ready, and then jumped in a little mini bus to take us to the snowmobiles. When arriving, it was explained to us how to use the snowmobile, and any tips that we may need. If you’re not a confident driver, I’d definitely recommend having a chat with one of the very friendly guides on top of the explanation to help clarify a few things - we did see someone go off into snow (no injuries), and all the staff were very quick to help put them back on course. We drove up a beautiful mountain following the guide the entire way. There were guides stationed at different points in our little convoy (front, middle and back, as well as a few extra staff I think?). In total, it was about an hour going up and back down - plenty of time to take in the stunning views, as well as a chance to stop at the top to take some photos! The routes were clearly pathed out, with the difficulty being okay for beginners if you have never done this before. There is also an opportunity to change drivers at the top if you both wanted to have a go at driving - the snowmobile is a two person snowmobile. Once down at the bottom, we jumped back in the mini bus and headed back to their restaurant, where we had some amazing lunch. The options were fish or vegetarian soup, alongside hot drinks, and some waffles and jam. The lady who makes the food was so passionate about her cooking, and loved coming out to chat to everyone. She was so friendly, and so appreciative of everyone coming to their business - we loved meeting her, and her food was brilliant! Overall, I couldn’t recommend the experience enough. From start to finish, staff were so brilliant, so friendly, and made the experience for us (we didn’t catch his name, but the gentleman we spoke to about the northern lights and said how he loves his job as he gets to put a smile on peoples faces everyday was amazing!) The views that you get to see are nothing we had ever seen before, and are so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you so much to the XLyngen family for making the last day of the year (we came on the 31st of December) such a memorable day!

Traumhaft gelegene kleine Anlage bestehend aus fünf Fischerhütten und zwei Appartements, direkt am Fjord, mit Sauna und Jacuzzi. Die Hütten sind zweckmäßig, aber sehr gemütlich, es fehlt an nichts. Wir haben ein vier Tages Komplett-Paket gebucht, mit verschiedenen Aktivitäten. Polarlichter, Schneeschuhwandern, Schneemobiltour und Husky Schlittentour und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Es ist, als würde man in eine komplett andere Welt eintauchen! Inmitten der traumhaften Bergkulisse erlebt man nicht nur die wunderbare Natur in all ihrer facettenreichen Schönheit, sondern auch herausragende Gastfreundlichkeit. Das XLyngen ist familiär geführt und selten haben wir so freundliche Gastgeber erlebt. Das Essen (wir hatten Vollpension) ist hervorragend und die Herzlichkeit, mit der man hier empfangen und umsorgt wird, sucht ihresgleichen. Das Restaurant ist frisch renoviert und außergewöhnlich "hygge" eingerichtet. Die Tourguides sind unfassbar freundlich und kümmern sich rührend. Wir können jedem, der auf der Suche nach einem außergewöhnlichen Ziel am gefühlten Ende der Welt ist, das XLyngen nur empfehlen. Die Erinnerungen, die man hier sammelt, zusammen mit totaler Entschleunigung und Ruhe, werden für immer bleiben und uns noch oft an die wunderschöne Zeit hier erinnern.

Abbiamo prenotato sulla piattaforma Get Your Guide l’escursione “Tromsø Safari in motoslitta sulle Alpi di Lyngen” fornita da XLyngen as per il giorno 19/02/24. Giornata divertentissima, operatori professionali, disponibili, e simpatici, cibo ottimo, location pittoresca. Bravi, bravi, bravi!

Algo lejos de Tromso, a los pies de los Alpes Noruegos. En verano deportes naúticos, pesca y excursiones a pié por los Alpes. En invierno, pesca en el hielo, motos de nieve, raquetas de nieve, etc Las cabañas correctas, aunque sólo tienen un baño para tres habitaciones. Las comidas, perfectas, comida local tratada con mucha profesionalidad y cariño, muy recomendable cenar platos tradicionales del norte de Noruega, así como disfrutar del desayuno. Debido a su ubicación en primerísima línea de mar y orientación de las cabañas, perfecto para ver auroras por la noche, muy recomendable pasar una noche y unir 2 o más actividades (dependiendo del tiempo que dispongas). Vale mucho la pena salir de Tromso para disfrutarlo, incluid los traslados en la excursión/visita, son muy profesionales y no merece la pena ir por tu cuenta a no ser que tengas vehículo alquilado
