Narvik, Arctic Adventures All Year
In the Narvik region, fjords, mountains and city life come together, with Arctic experiences in every season. Take the Narvik Gondola up for views across the Ofotfjord and discover a mountain with plenty to explore. Enjoy a good meal, follow the hiking trails in summer or head out on skis or snowshoes in winter.
Winter brings skiing with fjord views and the chance to see the northern lights, while the midnight sun and long summer days give you more time to explore. At Polar Park, around an hour from Narvik, you can meet some of the Nordic region’s most fascinating animals.
Stay close to nature or in the heart of town, discover Arctic flavours and learn about the region’s Sami culture and wartime history. Fill your days with adventure, take time to unwind and find experiences that suit you.
