6 September 2018, 13:40 | Updated: 11 September 2018, 08:13
Text for your chance to win a winter break for two in Norway - in search of the Northern Lights.
LBC is giving you and a guest the chance to win a 3-night break in Tromsø, Arctic Norway, in search of the breathtaking Northern Lights and it’s all thanks to Inntravel.
You’ll fly from London Heathrow to Tromsø to enjoy a 3-night bed-and-breakfast stay at the Hotel With, located on the historic waterfront and looking out over the water to the mountains beyond.
A highlight of your trip is an exhilarating Husky Safari, courtesy of Tromsø Safari, on which you can join a dog-sledding excursion across the tundra, including having a turn at being the ‘musher’ (driver), followed by hot drinks and cake.
When darkness falls on your second night, you’ll go in search of the aurora borealis (Northern Lights), accompanied by an experienced local guide, in the hope of seeing the colourful swirls of light dancing in the sky.
That’s not all: Tromsø Arctic Reindeer will enable you to join a safari into the forest by sled, where you’ll get to meet reindeer and have the chance to feed them. You’ll also hear stories about traditional Sami culture, witness a traditional Sami folk song performance and enjoy lunch of bidos (tradtional Sami soup).
All in all, this is the perfect winter break for two.
To be in with a chance of winning, text the word LIGHTS to 84850.
