Enjoy a weekend break in Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic and Norway's northernmost hub.
Tromsø is a lively, cultural city surrounded by snow-capped mountains, sprawling forests, deep fjords and picturesque islands. Unwind in the heart of the city during your three-night stay at Thon Hotel Tromsø or upgrade your holiday to stay at Clarion Collection Hotel With, Clarion Hotel The Edge, or Radisson Blu Tromsø. In the evening, explore the landscape by night on an included northern lights hunting expedition.
Choose from a wide array of optional activities and excursions to tailor-make this trip into your perfect winter holiday - speed off through the snowy wilderness on a snowmobile or dog sled safari, learn about the Sami people and ride in a sleigh pulled by a reindeer.
