Welcome to Lyngen Outdoor Center, a paradise of THE GREAT OUTDOORS with breathtaking activities, fantastic ski touring, unspoilt nature, exhilirating mountains and the mirroring fjords.
Nowhere else in the world it is possible to find thousand-metre slopes, inclined at almost any angle, perfect for experts or beginners alike, and falling right into the dark blue waters of the fjords.
Uloya’s numerous ice-cascades present an ideal teaching and practising ground, so if you want to try your hand at ice-climbing, we will be happy to introduce you to this exciting activity. We will supply all the equipment and guiding, so all is left for you is going for it!
During the summer, the snow all but disappears leaving behind an island of green meadows, meandering rivers, roaring waterfalls and turquoise lakes, perfect for great days out and exploring.
Watch humpback whales and killer-whales in their natural environment! Breathtaking experience enhanced by a “blue-day” and unforgettable northern lights spectacles.
Uløya is a truly extraordinary place. It is here that the true Arctic lies – not the geographical one, as designated by the Arctic Circle (500 km south of the island!), but the one defined by the climate, with an average temperature of 10°C in July.

Welcome to
Lyngen Outdoor Center
a paradise of THE GREAT OUTDOORS with breathtaking activities, fantastic ski touring, unspoilt nature, exhilirating mountains and the mirroring fjords.
We are a place created out of passion for outdoors and nature. We are people for whom outdoors is the way of life. We are mountain climbers, skiers, divers and anglers. We ventured with expeditions to Patagonia, Mali, Madagascar, Causacus and Tien-Szan, we climbed in the Alps, Himalayas and we even stormed K2 in winter. We are experts in our fields and so we created this place in a true ski touring paradise to share our knowledge and passion with you – our guests.
Lyngen Outdoor Center is located in the eastern part of Uløya Island, in the far north of Norway, 500 km beyond the Arctic Circle. Uløya is a special place – it’s remote, quiet, it’s out of the way. It’s immersed in the amazing surrounding of the beautiful mountains and crystal-clear fjords, including the famous Lyngen Fjord. Being here you get a chance chance to practice a wide range of activities and sports. But first of all you feel as if on another planet enjoying one of the best ski touring venues on Earth. A venue that simply leaves you speechless…
You find us in a place called Uløybukt, 100m from the ferry port of the same name. The only road on this part of the island leads straight to us. You can reach us by a regular free-of-charge ferry (see ferries timetable under access section).
We prepare outstanding cuisine – a fusion of local tradition and international spice.
We have excellent skiing and avalanche safety equipment for rent at a lodge.
There is also a fleet of modern aluminum boats and a large-sized pier, belonging to the property, reaching out approx. 50m into the sea. A comfortable floating bridge allows for safe and easy docking.
