The stunning Arctic Cathedral

Across the bridge in Tromsdalen, the Arctic Cathedral, (Ishavskatedralen) built in 1965, is an unusual and daring structure in stark white, and in the shape of a massive triangle. It is open year-round, and in summer there are late-night concerts to coincide with the midnight sun.

Tromsø to the North Cape

North of Tromsø, the Lyngen Alps (Lyngenalpene) mountain range, bordered by the Lyngen fjord on one side and the Ullsfjord on the other, is an area of high peaks, reminiscent of the Alps. The highest summit reaches 1,833 metres (6,014ft) and several glaciers can be found here. This remote region has a good mountain lodge open year-round, the Lyngen Lodge (www.lyngenlodge.com).
