About Lyngen
The municipality is tricultural. The original inhabitants were the Sami and the area is calledIvgguin the Northern Sami language. The outer villages got a Norwegian population rather early on, and in the 18th century, people from Finland settled in the area (known asYykeänin Kven/Finnish language). Today, almost everyone speaks Norwegian only, but Sami and Finnish are still spoken by a few elderly people. The area is extremely well suited for off-piste skiers. However, visitors will soon discover that the infrastructure is lacking. Book your accommodation early and bring all your gear; the rest, the flexible inhabitants will fix on the spot. Sea fishing is excellent in the area. There are plenty of boats available to hire, although shore fishing is good too. In the deep waters of Lyngenfjo
