Sommarøy Arctic Hotel Tromsø
Your accommodation is on a secluded little archipelago also famously know as “the arctic caribbean” due to it’s many sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Especially during the winter/spring months. This archipelago still houses many fisher men who through the winter docks here to deliver their catch as much of the best fishing takes place during the winter months when the migrating cod travels to Norway to reproduce. The archipelago has a little local super market within walking distance from the hotel and if you want to explore the island further, you can find many beautiful spots within walking distance to enjoy the beaches, birds and sunsets over the ocean to the west.
The Arctic light
If you arrive early enough in the season the northern lights might be dancing over the hotel. As you are far from light pollution and have an open horizon, this is a good place to have your northern lights experience. Are you arriving later on then we are fast moving towards the midnight sun and already from end of April it doesn’t really get dark anymore during the night. The long evenings with endless opportunities approaches us day by day and you’ll take part in that transition.
Travel guide role
Your guide will be responsible for your daily transfers, equipment, trip planning and safety measures. As we hit dinner timer back on Sommarøy Island your guide will make his goodbye and pick you up in the morning. These evening hours you’re free to use the amenities of the hotel such as gym, sauna and beach to regenerate your body strength for the next day. You’re guide will be available on the phone, but this time is considered for everyone to decompress from the everyday life and sink into the arctic atmosphere where seals, eagles, purpoises and incredible sunsets can be spotted. Guides are minimum avalanche instructors through Norsk Fjellsportforum (NF), or the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA/SVELAV/FINLAV) or international mountain guides (UIAGM). Rope accessed skiing and glacier crossings are not part of our trips.
