Staying in Lyngen.....
In Furuflaten you can stay at Bo-med-oss , which means "Stay-with-us", right
in the middle of a beautiful village surrounded by mountains known as
the Lyngen Alps. Here you find an exiting mixture of modern industrial
environment and the old farmers- and fisherman's environment.
You are offered a new kind of tourism, "Home Stay" where you
become a local inhabitant for a short while.
