In the far north-east of Norway, 400 kilometres above the Arctic Circle, you’ll find Kirkenes – a place where nature and light create experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Join a fishing trip or a king crab safari, feel the rush of dog sledding and snowmobiling, or chase the Northern Lights.
In Kirkenes, the landscape stretches from fjords and open plateaus to forest and tundra, with experiences all year round. Try a king crab safari, go fishing or join a boat trip along the coast. In winter, feel your pulse rise as you’re pulled through the snow by a dog sled or head out on a snowmobile, with the Northern Lights dancing above you – before ending the day with a night in an ice hotel.
In summer, you can enjoy temperatures reaching up to 30°C, explore the Grense Jakobselv river by boat or take on the waves of the Barents Sea with an exhilarating rafting trip. At the same time, you’ll discover a culture shaped by Norwegian, Sámi and Russian traditions. Visit museums and small galleries or experience local events such as Barents Spektakel – an arts and culture festival celebrating the Arctic region.
