  • ACTIVITIES

    Located on the picturesque island of Sommarøy, approximately 50 km from Tromsø, the hotel is surrounded by spectacular Arctic landscapes and offers a unique setting for scientific discussions, networking and relaxation. You can explore the nearby coastline, white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding islands and mountains.

    Together with activity suppliers, the hotel offers a range of recreational facilities to experience the natural beauty and the tranquillity of the Arctic surroundings, such as sauna overlooking the lagoon, outdoor jacuzzi, a gym and a seaside wellness area with a hot tub.

    The hotel also offers outdoor adventures, such as snow-shoe hiking and sea kayaking, which can be booked in advance, subject to availability and weather conditions. More information is available on the hotel website → https://www.sommaroy.no/activities

    Finally, January is an excellent time to experience the Northern Lights, especially we are emerging from the polar night. Away from the bright lights of the Tromsø city, Sommarøy provides an ideal setting to witness this spectacular natural phenomenon (if the weather permits).
