Lyngen - English outing cards

Surrounded by majestic peaks lies Blåvatnet, locally known as the Blue Ice Lake due to its intense blue colour. The clear blue colour is due to the glacier melt from Lenangsbreen glacier. The area is not only beautiful, but also geologically interesting with moraines and gigantic boulders. The neighbouring lake Aspevatnet, situated closer to the road, is also a colourful attraction. Here you can rest at the shelter and sign your name in the trim book.  Happy outing and enjoy the view of the Lyngsalpene!

Lyngsdalen is one of the gates to Lyngsalpan landscape conservation area, home to the highest mountains on the Lyngen peninsula. Here you will find the highest mountain in the county, Jiehkkevárri (1834 MASL). The valley is easy to traverse. You can safely cross the river by bridge over Váraš and explore both sides of the Lyngsdals river. Water flow in Lyngsdals river is especially powerful on warm summer and wet autumn days; a mighty sight along with the three glaciers Vestbreen, Midtbreen and Sydbreen. Happy outing!
