Destinations

Kiruna: One hundred summer days and no nights. From the end of May to the middle of July, the sun never sets in Kiruna. The midnight sun is a unique and wonderful experience! Autumn fills nature with a spectrum of colours, endless clear skies and wonderfully crisp air, and winter is lit up by the white snow, casting a magical blue light at dawn and dusk. On clear winter nights, the northern lights put on a spectacular and glittering light show. If you visit us in spring, Kiruna offers a combination that is hard to beat with the option of winter activities on a blanket of snow while enjoying the warmth of the spring sun.

Lofoten: Lofoten offers you the sea. Watch the waves roll in towards land, listen to the gulls cry, smell the seaweed and tarred jetties. If you would like to experience more drama, visit Lofoten in its winter attire with darkness, northern lights and snow – an exotic and unusual experience. Watch the killer whales close up in autumn. The weather changes quickly and dramatically. Snow, rain, wind and autumn sun. You can experience it all in one and the same day. Read more about Lofoten here: www.lofoten.info		Photo: Stig Einarsen
Narvik: Narvik is located between the mighty mountains by Vestfjorden near the Swedish border. The harbour is well protected and easily accessible. There are exciting adventures as well as quiet activities such as shopping and town walks. Ofotbanen, the railway, will take you along steep mountains across the border to Sweden in less than an hour. Although Narvik is a young town, it has a dramatic and exciting history from the Second World War. Read more about Narvik here: www.destinationnarvik.com
Hamsun: Hamsun’s Kingdom is not a specific place. The adventure land was created by Knut Hamsun. People from around the world dream of being here – this is as close as you can get to that dream. Northern Nordland gave Hamsun inspiration for a whole life of writing. In the intersection of Salten, Ofoten and Lofoten you will find a condensed version of Nordland – just as we know it in Knut Hamsun’s world-famous novels.
