Reisa Lodge

5.01 reviewStorslett, Troms
  • Guided trips

Year-round adventure lodge in Norway's Troms region near the Reisa River and National Park, now focused on winter activities (Northern Lights, dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing) and summer pursuits (hiking, packrafting, riverboat trips to waterfalls). Atlantic salmon fishing on the Reisa was closed in spring 2022; brown trout ice fishing available in winter months.

Why book

Arctic lodge pivoted from salmon to winter adventure—Northern Lights, dog sledding, and ice fishing for brown trout in the Lyngen Alps.

Overview

Seasons

Reisa Lodge offers a year-round experience, but the fishing season for Atlantic salmon, their primary target, is unfortunately no longer available as the river was closed for salmon fishing in the spring of 2022. However, the lodge has pivoted to offer a wide array of other activities and experiences throughout the year. From late September through April, the focus shifts to winter pursuits. This includes prime time for Northern Lights viewing from October to March, dog sledding from November to April, and whale watching in the fjords from November to January. Snowmobiling and ice fishing are excellent from December to April, while skiing is possible from December to June. As the snow melts and spring arrives, typically in May, the Reisa River opens up for trout fishing and water sports. The summer season, from June to October, is ideal for riverboat trips to spectacular waterfalls like Mollisfossen and Imofossen, as well as packrafting and exploring the vast hiking and biking trails. Photo safaris are available year-round, capitalizing on the dramatic landscapes in every season.
