Lyngen

The terrain of Lyngen ranges from sheltered shores along Lyngenfjord to glaciated summits in the Lyngen Alps, creating a distinctly vertical Arctic setting. This peninsula in northern Troms is defined by narrow fjords, steep mountain walls and a coastline deeply shaped by ice. Jiehkkevárri, at 1,834 metres, is the highest peak in the Lyngen Alps and a landmark for ski mountaineers and hikers. Small settlements sit close to the water, where fishing remains part of local life. Lyngen also belongs to an area with enduring Norwegian, Sámi and Kven cultural traditions.
