During the endless, long days of summer, Uløya is a peaceful haven of untouched nature, green birch forests and exceptional wildlife. After months of white landscape, in summer snow disappears in Uloya, revealing meandering rivers, green meadows, turquoise lakes and enchanting waterfalls, a perfect setting for great adventures, and a complete contrast to the harsh and snowy landscape of the winter months.

Uløya is a truly extraordinary place. This is the Arctic, where you can really feel like you are at the edge of the world! It is right here that famous peaks like Uløytinden (1114m), Kjelvagtinden (1104m) and Blåtinden (1142m) rise straight from the sea, making for wonderful hiking routes. It is right here where you find stunning crystal-clear lakes across the landscape, and where beautiful waterfalls drop down many metres from high, rocky outcrops.
During these days, you will enjoy unforgettable hikes, discovering beautiful rivers and streams, in the middle of green meadows, even on the shortest walks. You will also find herds of reindeer and elk here! You will be amazed by the magical and unique scenic landscape and wildlife of Uloya and the Lyngen Fjord.
In Uloya you will also have the opportunity to enjoy great rock climbing experiences**. Completely virgin rock walls** are the perfect spot for unique climbs in the island. Uløya boasts fantastic walls in 3 picturesque valleys. Above Isvanett, you will find a great rock wall, offering challenging and interesting dry-tooling opportunities with an exciting finale on ice. Below the lakes there are many smaller areas waiting to be discovered and explored!
Lyngen is also famous for its great fishing grounds. Many islands and inlets make for the perfect conditions for fishing in perfect solitude, often with the whole fjord to just yourself. This area is rich in catfish, cod and the huge halibut. We will take you to cross the Lyngen Fjord by boat, to catch a great halibu for your evening dinner! You will experience a true adventure in a wild location.
The area surrounding Uløya provides any angler with amazing challenges, whether your goal is sea turbot, halibut, cod, coley or catfish! The sea currents deliver an excellent fishing experience and big fish. Our Rotsund Seafishing fishing camp belongs to the renowned Dintur network, which guarantees the highest levels and safety standards.

Located just 500km beyond the Arctic circle and surrounded by stunning fjords (including the famous Lyngen fjord), Uløya is a dream setting to practice a wide range of activities (ski touring, climbing and hiking are an every day occurrence here).
The Lyngen Outdoor Center team is made up of IFMGA-certified guides and outdoor lovers only. We are skiers, climbers and anglers. Our expeditions have taken us all around the world, including Himalaya, the Tian Shan Range, Patagonia, Madagscar and Mali, to name a few. We created this place to share our knowledge and passion with you.
You won't have trouble finding us: the only route on this part of the island leads straight to us. You can take a ferry to get here or we can pick you up in our "water taxi".
Our very comfortable apartments are located just 50 meters away from the water line. They offer everything you'll need for a skiing or fishing trip with your friends, including a drying room. Our boats are some of the most modern in all of the Lyngen area and a large sized pier is located just 50m away from your accommodation.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
