  Description

  We are a family of 4 who have an old farm, but there are no animals there anymore. It is a small village 1 hour, 70 km, from Tromsø city. It is a fantastically beautiful area. We go on trips in the area a lot. Here you can fish, go hiking, swim in glacial water and much more. I run my own tourism company, with private base camps.
