At the end of the Porsangerfjord, in the heart of Finnmark, lies Lakselv – surrounded by deep valleys, majestic mountains and the lush Lakselvdalen. Here you can experience nature in the midnight sun, go fishing, hunt for the northern lights or enjoy one of Northern Norway’s biggest music festivals.
Lakselv is a great base for experiencing Arctic nature and Sámi, Kven and Norwegian culture. With Stabbursdalen National Park close by, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and nature experiences all year round.
The area is known for the Lakselva river, one of Norway’s most famous salmon rivers. Anglers travel here from all over the world, but the river also offers peaceful nature experiences if you simply want to enjoy the surroundings. Nearby, you’ll find Trollholmsund with its unique rock formations and Silfar Canyon – one of the deepest river canyons in Northern Europe.
The history of Lakselv is well preserved at the Porsanger Museum, where Sámi, Norwegian and Kven cultures come together. Every summer, people gather for Midnattsrocken – a music festival under the midnight sun that creates memories long after the last concert ends.
