The valley excursion is not physically challenging at all, and is therefore suitable for people of all ages. Our valley excursion follows the nature track in the forest of Lulle valley in the Lyngsfjord area. The trip can be done in regular sneakers. Lulle valley is located in one of the driest areas in Scandinavia, and holds approximately 16 different orchids. Marisko (Cypripédium calcéolus) is the most famous of these orchids, and here you will experience the highest occurrence in Northern Europe. The track of 2,5 km goes through a combination of untouched wilderness and cultivated areas. Most of the track goes through an area now protected from human activity. Along the way there are more than 50 posters, informing about plants, geology, fauna and history. Our skilled guide will accompany you on the excursion, and share a lot of additional knowledge and interesting stories. A hot meal based on local tradition will be served during the tour. The bus trip from the town centre of Tromsø and out to Lulle valley is an excursion in it self in summertime, going through a dramatic landscape with many contrasts.
We pick you up on our bus or minibus in the town centre of Tromsø, by the hotel Rica. The town centre is very compact, so you will easily find the pick up point. We then transport you a 90 minute drive out in the wilderness, to the starting point of the mountain hiking route.
Planning tip: Instead of going back to town after the excursion you can transfer directly to spending the night in a Sami tent or timber cabin in our wilderness camp – Camp Tamok - located nearby. Check out “Night in Sami tent” and “Night in timber cabin” in the summer menu. If you spend the night in the camp, we can take care of your additional luggage during your stay, so that you do not need to pay for hotel in town the same night. After spending the night in the camp, you can of course also transfer directly to one of our adventures the following day.
