Whilst you may be used to diving into your favourite apres ski bar, you can also enjoy the likes of a private “Ghost Pub” after your ski down the mountain in remote northern Norway. Our favourite, again on Kvalloya, is left unlocked and unmanned for anyone to use, set with a sound system and bar – your own private party! James Ollie and Mel met guests today with “Afternoon Tea” treats and cans of beer kept cold by arctic snow on your way in to the pub and homemade steaming gluhwein once inside.
So where is this green phenomenon that everyone is obsessed with? Tromso is a flurry with foreign faces, all hunting for a chance to see the lights. But some cards are best kept close to your chest, the lights from the city make the optical night time show less vivid, and on Firebird we have the ability to find remote nooks in the fjords, unspoilt by artificial lights, where the Northern Lights are even more spectacular. On the first night of our first trip – guests topped off their evening meal with a show right above their heads, away from the tourists.
