Finnmark & the Arctic travel

In the far north of the country, Finnmark County forms the Norwegian part of Lapland. The north and west coasts offer a succession of bays, fjords and straits enclosed by islands and populated by colonies of seabirds, as well as spectacular mountains and glaciers. To the east, the spruce and pine forests stretch as far as the eye can see; this is the land of brown bears, lynx and moose. In the heart of the county, the Finnmarksvidda Plateau reveals its landscapes of lakes and valleys, where thousands of reindeer roam, owned by the Sami, the country’s oldest indigenous people. A stay in Norwegian Lapland resonates as an open-air adventure, with dog sledding safaris, snowshoe outings, and ice fishing. The white desert reveals the depths of its mystery at nightfall, under the dance of the Northern Lights. Discover all of our travel inspiration in Finnmark and the Norwegian Arctic. Read more
