Finnmark Reiseliv

Finnmark is the home of the Sami - Norway’s aborigines, a destination for an active winter holiday.  You can get to know the Sami culture and visit the herds of reindeer on the snow covered plains of the Finnmarksvidda. How about a king crab safari, getting a taste of the gigantic crab, driving a snowmobile, a reindeer safari or riding a husky sledge under the Northern Lights? Popular tourist areas include Alta, the North Cape, Kautokeino, Karasjok and Kirkenes.

Destination Lofoten

The weather in Lofoten changes rapidly in winter. There is an impressive variety of winter activities on offer in Lofoten: the cod from Lofoten is at its best in winter and you can sample the traditional "skreimølje" – a delicious meal using the freshest cod and other ingredients from Lofoten prepared by chefs that consider every dish a work of art. Stay at a traditional fishermen's cabin (rorbu) or one of the area’s unique hotels with character. You can even travel back to the Viking Age! At Borg, archaeologists have discovered the largest house ever found from this era. Visit this museum that brings the Viking Age back to life.

Nordland Reiseliv

Nordland is known for wildlife safaris and stunning scenery with the most beautiful coastline. Join a killer whale safari at the height of the season of Polar nights – never before have you felt so close to nature. Saltstraumen is the world’s strongest maelstrom. It is abundant in fish, and large numbers of seabirds find food there. Nordland can boast 35% of all the white-tailed eagles (sea eagles) in Norway and 20% of the global population. You cannot find a better guarantee for a meeting with this majestic bird of prey.

Troms Reiseliv

When travelling in Troms, it is the Arctic contrasts that bring magic to your day - snow-capped mountains, grand valleys, fjords and a myriad of lakes. As a county first settled by the Sami people, then the Norwegians and the Finns, heritage sites and cultural experiences can be found throughout the area. The flickering majestic spectacle of the Northern Lights can usually be seen in Troms from September until the beginning of April, while you can experience the midnight sun in summer.

 

Destination Savalen

Savalen has an idyllic location on the banks of the lake of the same name. This is a compact and unique all-year-round destination, with a great variety of exciting activities and experiences. Visit Savalen when the snow has settled, and experience old fashioned Norwegian winter at its very best.  Enjoy a variety of winter activities, visit Santa’s House, get fully pampered at Savalen Spa and enjoy live music and dancing every weekend in the winter months.

Svalbard Reiseliv

By the end of October, Svalbard enters into a period of darkness which lasts until the start of February. Yet when the weather is good, the moon reflects enough light to send rays dancing in the Arctic snow while the Northern Lights provide a breathtaking spectacle over the skies. February is the most beautiful time of year. The Polar night gives way to the rising sun, inching higher and higher for each passing day. On a clear day, the sky’s many blue hues blend with a shade of pink.
