So instead of driving to sledding, we made a quick (impulsive?) decision to join a group that was going snowshoeing in the mountains behind the lodge with Elisabeth, the manager and part-owner. It was the best decision of the trip! We joined two other couples and had a fantastic day - see if described on the Lyngen Lodge blog!

During the hike, I managed to fall at the very end - arms outstretched and holding camera - forward into the deep snow. My camera survived with a bit of water clouding the lens for an hour or so - so the cake only looks hazy...

At Lyngen Lodge, meals were included in the cost and they didn't disappoint. Elegant, but hearty and rustic. Portions were just right.

Chicken wrapped in prosciutto for the second course |
dessert was rice pudding and some kind of jam not really my thing but the Norwegians at the table ate it up |
Since we didn't see the Northern lights on the trip - we decided to recreate them inside with our green napkins! We then tried to do this outside so we could tell our friends and family we'd seen them, but it was too dark to get the same trick to work.

Overall it was the perfect vacation day. Lyngen Lodge is a wonderful place and I'm already plotting to find a reason to go back!

For those of you that are serious skiers - February marks the opening of ski season as the days are long enough to hike up and ski down the slopes. Warren Miller was so impressed, that the Lyngen Lodge was featured in a recent ski movie.
