The Lyngenfjord (Lyngenfjorden) is located in northern Norway, in Troms og Finnmark County. It stretches about 82 kilometers and is framed by the rugged Lyngen Alps, whose peaks rise up to 1,800 meters, creating a dramatic landscape. The area is popular for outdoor activities such as hiking, ski touring, fishing, and kayaking. Situated above the Arctic Circle, Lyngenfjord is also an excellent place to witness the Northern Lights in winter and the Midnight Sun in summer.
