You will continue your journey into a wilderness camp in the Lyngen Alps. Follow the footsteps of famous polar explorers, as you discover the arctic landscapes with a dog sled team and snowmobile. You will end your tour on the gorgeous island of Sommarøy, where crystal clear turquoise waters await. You will end your tour in an accommodation in the nature.
