A full day snowmobile safari into the Lyngen Alps with Camp Troll, driving in pairs and swapping halfway, with hot soup and drinks around a campfire before the bus back to Tromsø.
Overview
Board the Arctic Route Bus at Prostneset at 8:30 AM for the ride out to Camp Troll, a snowmobile base in the Lyngen Alps built around Norwegian troll folklore.
After a safety briefing and gear-up (thermal suit, boots, mittens and helmet all provided), head out on the snowmobiles in pairs, one driver and one passenger, with a driver swap at the halfway point so both people get real riding time.
The route runs beneath the Lyngen Alps themselves, some of the most dramatic peaks in Northern Norway, with stops along the way for photos.
Back at camp, warm up with a bowl of soup made from local produce (vegan, with gluten-free options) and hot drinks around the fire before the bus and ferry back to Tromsø, arriving around 4:30 PM.
Actual riding time is roughly 2.5 hours of the 8-hour day; the rest is transfer, briefing and the meal.
Meeting point: Prostneset Bus, Boat & Hurtigruten Terminal, Samuel Arnesens Gate 5, Tromsø (8:30 AM departure).

FAQ
Do I need snowmobile experience for this tour?
No prior experience is required. Guides give a safety briefing and instructions before you set off, and snowmobiles are shared between two guests so a more confident rider can take the first stretch.
Who can drive the snowmobile?
Drivers must hold a valid driver's license and be at least 18 years old. Passengers riding along don't need a license. Children under 7 are not permitted on this tour at all.
How much of the 8 hours is actual riding?
About 2.5 hours is spent riding, out of the full 8-hour day. The rest covers the bus and ferry transfer each way, the safety briefing and gear-up, and the soup break at camp.
What should I wear?
Camp Troll provides the snowmobile suit, boots, mittens and helmet. Bring your own warm base layers, socks and a hat underneath, since Arctic temperatures can be well below freezing.
