Walk into the Nordic winter night
Step into the stillness of a winter night and experience the landscape around Straand Hotel in a completely different way.
With snowshoes on, you head out into the quiet mountain terrain, far from artificial lights and close to nature at its most peaceful. Above you, the sky opens up. Stars appear brighter, the air feels sharper, and the surroundings seem almost timeless. Along the way, your guide shares stories about the night sky and how it has been understood from Norse times until today. And if conditions are right, you may even witness the Northern Lights moving across the horizon.
Halfway through the walk, you pause to sit on reindeer skins, warm your hands around a cup of mulled wine or hot cocoa, and enjoy simple local snacks such as dried reindeer meat or smoked salmon.
