Breathtaking Panoramic Views Cabin - Secluded / fire pit / ideal for aurora

Immerse yourself in stunning Norwegian alpine wilderness. Stay in a breathtaking lakefront cabin with magnificent panoramic views in the Lyngen Alps only 45 minutes drive from Tromsø. Picturesque setting for Northern Lights or midnight sun experience. Located in the "Aurora Belt" and away from lights presenting ideal opportunity for Northern Lights viewing . Extensive opportunities for activities both summer and winter: Hike directly from the property, including to a glacier, boat included for free on Laksvatn lake, fishing, skiing.

A recent travel vlog was done on YouTube about our cabin. Search for a video called 'AURORAS in Tromsø by a channel called Nature4U.

The location is fantastic near many Lyngen Alps attractions. In the winter, you will enjoy spectacular Northern Lights from your own private alpine plateau and from a large window in the living room of the main cabin.

The space consists of a main cabin with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. A second smaller cabin consists of a living room, bedroom and a kitchenette is included. There is also an additional outside toilet and a room for drying clothes and boots. Guests have access to the entire space (all three buildings in the pictures). The cabins have electric heating. The main cabin also has a wood burning stove.

The main cabin is well equipped and has WiFi with unlimited access. One free firewood bundle for outdoor camp fire during season.

October 2023 Update: We installed a water well system and a new bathroom remodel. Now there is hot water year round at the cabin, adding more creature comforts to a cabin whose location is secluded.

The cabin is a short and easy 45 minute drive from Tromsø. Parking is in front of the property at the road. Guests walk up a small hill to reach the front gate of their alpine oasis. The hosts will be available to answer any questions and provide advise on local attractions.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

Excellent Stay

We loved the cabin, and it was even better than we could tell from the listing. It was perfect for a north-Norwegian vacation.

What an amazing place to stay. The drive from Tromso to the cabin is breathtaking as you drive through the mountains and alongside lakes. The cabin has a beautiful view of mountains and was very peaceful. I recommend this cabin to anyone that wants a relaxing getaway in the mountains.

Love that they provided some wood for a nice fire, and the host was extremely quick to respond to any messages! All items were well addressed in the booklet as well.

Perfect

The cabin was perfect in size, comfort and necessities. Not too far from town, but far enough to be away from the craziness of city life. Such a perfect little gem, 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ couldn’t be happier

Perfect mountain getaway

Cosy traditional cabin with views of the Lygenalps and snowshoe routes on the doorstep. The cabin has everything you need: picture window for northern lights and a moccamaster coffee machine for when you get back from a hike (pick up a bag of ground beans from kaffebønna in Tromso on your way!). Cristina is an incredibly responsive and helpful host

Wunderschöne Berghütte mit Aurora-Beleuchtung

Traumhafter Urlaub am See zwischen atemberaubenden Bergen. Man kann vom Garten aus, wenn der Himmel klar ist, die Polarlichter sehen. Für uns hatte alles gepasst. Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Weg zur Hütte hoch ist noch etwas abenteuerlich, aber nichts was einen Sternabzug bedeutet würde:)

A beautiful retreat

This is a stunning retreat location. Despite regular snow showers and overcast skies throughout my stay, I still enjoyed it very much. The walk from the road to the cabin in deep snow is not to be underestimated, but it became an important aspect of the peaceful reflective time.

Toll für Nordlicht-, Natur- und Sternebeobachter

Zwei allein im Wald am Berg gegenüber einem See gelegene Ferienhütten. Wir waren nur zu Dritt und haben daher nur die größere benutzt, die auch eine Innentoilette und ein Duschbad hat. Es gibt außerdem eine Außentoilette und einen Abstellraum mit Wärmeanzügen und einer Schuhheizung. Die Hütte ist gemütlich und auch bei Temperaturen um 0 bis minus 8 Grad im Oktober warm. Es kommt etwas Abenteuerfeeling auf, weil aus dem Wasserhahn nur kaltes Wasser kommt, warmes Wasser zum Duschen oder Spülen kann man in zwei großen Behältern (ca. 5-8 l) erhitzen. Das reicht für ca. 5 min. Duschen. Bei Minusgraden wird das Wasser abgestellt, die Vermieter hatten jedoch mit großen Behältern für ausreichend Vorrat gesorgt. Die Toiletten sind ökologisch und funktionieren ohne Wasser, da die Hütte bei der Alleinlage nicht an die Kanalisation angeschlossen ist, was ungestörte Nordlichtbeobachtung ermöglicht (ohne Lichtverschmutzung). Das ist uns in 10 Tagen viermal gelungen, wir haben tolle Fotos machen können. Ein Auto ist unverzichtbar. Um auf den Parkplatz an der Hütte zu gelangen ist ein Allradfahrzeug mit größerer Bodenfreiheit (SUV) erforderlich. Sonst parkt man an der Straße und geht einen Fußpfad zur Hütte hoch. Das ist kein Problem, nur mit viel Gepäck lästig. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war stets superschnell, sie meldeten sich sofort und gaben Tipps, waren sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben vom Wohnzimmer aus über das Fernglas z.B. einen Adler gesehen, es ist für Naturfreunde super geeignet. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.
