<\/p>\nIn the north of Norway, not far from Troms\u00f8, the island of Kval\u00f8ya and the island of Senja offer a huge playground that is still little visited for those who want to take a trip to Norway to discover the fjords in winter. Snowshoeing through these wilderness is a fun activity that is quick to learn for those who have never practiced this discipline. The gentle and accessible valleys are followed by steep massifs that give an alpine dimension to the landscapes. The island of Kval\u00f8ya and the island of Senja are located directly on the coast and thus offer extremely varied panoramas of the mountains and fjords but also of the open sea. To the far reaches of the horizon, the immense view of the Norwegian Sea adds a majestic dimension to this alpine setting and further accentuates the exhilarating feeling of adventure, freedom and humility.<\/p>\n

For this trip to the heart of the Norwegian fjords, our base camp is located on a white sand beach. “B\u00e5thuset” is the name of our eco-lodge. It will quickly become the “Home Sweet Home” that is good to find again at the end of a snowshoe breakaway. It has everything you need to feel good. It is south-facing and offers a vast panorama of the north of Senja Island. The decoration, sober and neat, refers to the polar expeditions carried out by 69Nord. The rooms resemble boat cabins whose original dimensions have been respected to keep an energy sufficiency more necessary than ever.<\/p>\n

The long evenings by the fireplace are an opportunity to witness the unique and fascinating spectacle of the Northern Lights. We have front-row seats. Our position on the east coast is a considerable advantage from this perspective, as the state of the sky changes quickly and can allow for beautiful observations even when the sky is overcast. At the beginning of December, the days are long enough for hiking, but the long nights provide great observation opportunities for the auroras. In early April, it’s the opposite; the days are long, but the nights are short for observing the auroras.<\/p>\n

Thank you Gulf Stream!<\/p>\n
Although we are located in the north of Norway, the sea does not freeze in winter. Temperatures remain around -5\u00b0C at sea level while we are at 69\u00b038\u2032 north latitude, 350 km north of the Arctic Circle. This unique climate is unique in the Arctic. Only the Norwegian coasts benefit from it, everywhere else, in winter, it is -350C at the same latitude and the sea is completely frozen. Even locally, it is enough to travel a few dozen kilometres inside the terrain to find a biting cold. These relatively mild temperature conditions on the coast allow you to enjoy magnificent snowshoe hikes without encountering extreme conditions.<\/p>\n
