Activities in Finnmark

Finnmark is worth visiting during any season, but the winter is special. Every year, two popular and unique ice hotels are rebuilt: one in Kirkenes and one in Alta. Here you can sleep on a literally frozen bed, with a reindeer’s hide for warmth.

The dog sledding race Finnmarksløpet is a festive occasion in this region. But it is a tough competition! The race goes all the way from Alta to Kirkenes and back – over 600 miles with a maximum of 14 dogs pulling the sled.

The wild outdoors and the beautiful coast makes Finnmark a great place to visit during summer as well. Go fishing for salmon and trout, or put on your hiking boots and go hunting for grouse in a national park. You can even go for a river safari, or take it slowly in a comfortable kayak.

Travel from city to village, through the Arctic landscape. The wild plains await you!
