A guided day hike from Tromsø to one of Norway's most beautiful lakes
One of Norway's most stunning hidden lakes, and you can reach it in a day from Tromsø.
Blåisvatnet sits deep in the Arctic mountains, fed by glacial meltwater and framed by raw Nordic wilderness. The water is a shade of blue you won't forget, the kind that makes you stop and stare the moment it comes into view. Most people have never heard of it. Those who've been there never stop talking about it.
The journey is part of the experience. You'll meet your guide and driver in central Tromsø before setting off on a 2-hour drive through some of the most dramatic Arctic scenery Norway has to offer. Keep your eyes open along the way, this is prime territory for local wildlife.
The hike up takes around 90 minutes on a gentle slope, finishing with a short scramble over rocks just before the lake reveals itself. It's a proper hike through untouched Norwegian nature, but it's well within reach for most people regardless of age or fitness level. No technical experience needed, just a sense of adventure and a good pair of shoes.
Your guide is with you every step of the way, sharing knowledge about the landscape, the wildlife, and the Arctic environment around you. At the lake, they'll capture professional photos of you and your group so you leave with something real to show for the day, not just blurry phone shots taken while catching your breath.
Then comes the best part. You'll sit down for a proper Arctic picnic right at the water's edge, surrounded by mountains and glacial silence, with a spread of local Norwegian specialties to fuel you for the walk back.
This is what a day in Arctic Norway is supposed to look like.
