Northern lights Senja and snowshoe hikes in Norway

We'll meet at Tromsø airport where your guide will meet you. Once the group is reunited, we'll hit the road to settle into the hotel, have a briefing on the week with your guide and enjoy a free evening to explore the town. Tromsø is a charming Arctic city surrounded by mountains and fjords. For meals, there are several restaurants in the centre where you can sample the local specialities.

After breakfast, we depart by minibus for the island of Senja, stopping off at Finnsnes to stretch our legs. A short snowshoe hike on the heights offers a first glimpse of the snow-covered northern landscape.

At the end of the afternoon, we arrive at our Norwegian lodge, where we'll be staying for the week, a cosy accommodation situated on the edge of the fjord, between the mountains and the sea. In the evening, we all enjoy the communal lounge and the comfort of our chalets. It's a relaxing first evening as we settle in and get to know each other over a meal prepared collectively.

After breakfast at the lodge, we'll attempt the ascent of Flobjørn, an emblematic peak in the area. The effort is gradual and steady, punctuated by breaks to take in the spectacular panoramas of the frozen fjords and the Senja landscape.

At the end of the day, it's back to the lodge for a quiet evening with a good meal and perhaps the opportunity to go hunting for the Northern Lights once night has fallen.

This day takes us on snowshoes to a pretty pass overlooking the Bergshøyan archipelago. All the way up, the views of Ersfjord and the surrounding peaks are superb. It's an immersive hike, in the calm of a snow-covered landscape.

Back at the gîte, you'll find the warmth of the stove before a convivial dinner.

Today we're off to discover Keipen, a peak in the north of Senja that dominates the fjord. The climb is steep but accessible, and the scenery is breathtaking: sea, ice and mountains intermingle in a typically Arctic silence.

Return to our accommodation in the late afternoon. In the evening, you can enjoy a good meal and watch the unique spectacle of the Northern Lights in the sky.

This day will take you to one of Senja's most famous sites: the Segla. We won't be climbing this technical peak in winter, but will be reaching the Hesten, a natural lookout point offering the best view of the Segla and its impressive cliffs. A short but memorable hike, with plenty of memories to savour.

The last evening at the lodge is an opportunity to share a convivial moment with the group over a fine dinner. There's also the option of a final hot bath or an evening by the fire.

We leave Senja and head for Tromsø. On the way, we stop off on the island of Sommarøy, famous for its Arctic beaches and small fishing villages. A final snowshoe hike brings this wonderful adventure to a gentle close.

When you arrive in Tromsø, you'll have the evening off to enjoy a meal in a Meals restaurant or a stroll along the harbour, a chance to reflect on the highlights of the week.

After a final breakfast at the hotel, you can enjoy some free time to visit Tromsø or do some shopping before your transfer to the airport. End of your stay.
