Description
This stay will be offered for the first time in summer 2023. During this running-in period, we can only welcome english speaking people in private mode, no individual.
Thank you for your understanding.
Do not hesitate to let us know your desire to discover sophrology in English as individual.
The archipelago of Sommarøy and its surroundings drives you feeling good by nature .
This is a great opportunity to discover the sophrology in a context of invigorating and rejuvenating outdoor activities.
The group includes 10 people maximum + a guide for outdoor activities and a sophrologist.
This stay is designed for lovers of wild nature who want to enjoy space and time, without rush. It takes place in stars from our eco-lodge, base camp and starting point of daily activities.
Sophrology is a discipline that can be practiced on a daily basis such as yoga or meditation. During the week, the practice will be done by half day basis. On the program: relaxation and acquisition of the first sophrology’s tools.
Every day, the guide will offer you a new adventure. You will discover the surrounding massifs and fjords by sailing kayak, bike or hiking depending on the weather and the aspirations of the group.
The small island of Sommarøy, on the west coast of Kvaløya, lies in the heart of a beautiful area protected from offshore swell by natural barriers to turquoise waters. At the edge of the fjords and the open sea, it is the domain of otters, puffins and fish eagles. The white sandy beaches give a curious tropical touch to these steep and wild landscapes.
The hiking possibilities are vast. There is something for all tastes and all levels.

Program
Indicative program:
Late Friday afternoon, we pick you up at Tromsø Langnes airport
After an hour’s drive, arrival in Sommarøy, dinner and installation in the eco-lodge for the 6 nights of the stay.
From Saturday to Wednesday, the program is not fixed and will be decided in real time according to the conditions of the moment in order to optimize the discovery of the immense and generous surrounding nature. Sophrology activities are scheduled at the center by half a day but can also be integrated into a day if the conditions allow the practice of sophrology in the field. Whether by kayaking, cycling or walking, you can enjoy walks, viewpoints or moments of contemplation that will undoubtedly leave you with unforgettable memories.
We are also planning a day off where everyone can go about their business freely. During this day, there will be the possibility, for those who wish, to join the activities of the center, to return to specific points in sophrology or simply stay at the lodge or around to read or stroll.
Thursday morning after breakfast, return to the airport.
Airport transfers:
Round trip transfer is included.
We are 50 km from Tromsø airport. Only one rotation is possible on arrival on Friday afternoon and departure on Thursday morning. We therefore recommend, as far as possible, not to plan arrival after 8pm on Friday and departure before 10am on Thursday.
The schedule arrangements applied by airlines in the wake of the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine change quite often and you may not be able to meet the recommended range. In any case, we ask you to keep us informed of your flight schedules so that we can notify other participants of a possible schedule change regarding transfers. Thanking you in advance.
