A THRIVING CULTURE

Magnificent cultural experiences, the place where historic journeys meet modern city life and people. In Northern Norway, coastal culture and historic fishing villages go hand in hand with modern city life. This is your port of call for shopping, festivals, gourmet restaurants and museums.

Enjoy a double espresso in the world's northernmost cafĂŠ or brace yourself for a tour of the High Arctic's citÂ ies. Every town and port is a reminder of our fisheries and cultural heritage, but Northern Norway is so much more than just mountains and fishing cabins. Despite the vast size of the region, it is easy to get around the islands,

fjords, mountains and plateaus. Planes, Hurtigruten boats, buses and ferries connect towns and villages in the north. Find your favourite festival and combine cultural events and festivals with local activities, shopping and regional delicacies. While cities like Tromsø and Harstad offer in ternational events, all the small, local festivals can give

you an insight into Northern Norwegian culture. Galleries, charming architecture and magnificent natural scenery welcome you to places that have inspired famous artists and poets from all over the world. In tiny fishing villages like Lofoten, you can enjoy Vestfjorden cod – the best in the world.

SEASONS AND CULTURE

The feeling that it’s day when really it’s night – you will never forget the midnight sun.

www.northernnorway.com

LIGHT ALL SUMMER NIGHT Cross the Arctic Circle and enter the realm of the midnight sun. Go even further north, and the summer days will last longer and longer. Go south, and see the deep red midnight sun peeping over the mountaintops. Light summer days in the far north last for months. Fjords, mountains, white sandy beaches, and surprisingly warm water – that’s Northern Norway’s coastline. A land scape of skerries, ‘rorbu’ fishing cabins, lapping waves and the cries of gulls will ease your tensions away. As www.nordnorge.com

well as endless days, the midnight sun gives you extra energy, and you might find yourself forgetting to go to bed, or playing golf at midnight. Feel the breeze in your face as you paddle from island to island in a kayak. Or go on a whale-watching safari while birds of prey soar above you. Head inland and walk for hours in virtually unspoiled scenery among moun tain peaks. Experience the variety of arctic wildlife and drink pure mountain water fresh from the spring. Or why not pick cloudberries or enjoy Norway's sweetest straw berries? SEASONS AND CULTURE

Autumn and winter also bring the magical Northern Lights – Northern Norway simply has to be experienced!

THE KINGDOM OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS The Northern Lights ripple across the sky in the dark winter of Northern Norway, but if you come here to get a glimpse of them, you needn't be afraid of the freezing cold or eternal darkness. The sun may have set, but it still has the power to cast a glow over the mainland for a few hours at midday. Only Svalbard has no daylight at all for the three winter months. This is also the time to discover another phenomenon – the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, from the Latin for ‘northern dawn’. There are many myths surrounding these fascinating and impressive lights. The Sami call them ‘the light which can be heard’, although no one has ever proved that the Northern Lights actually emit any audible sound. 8

Winters in the inland area and on the Finnmark plateau are often cold and dry. This is where you come to experi ence snow, snowshoe trips, dog sledding and cold. Or to sleep on a reindeer skin in a hotel of ice and snow. Winter temperatures can actually be much milder elsewhere in Northern Norway, even compared with further south in the country. Ski down mountains with unbroken sea vistas. Go deep-sea fishing or diving in the archipelago – there is often no snow here in winter. Or try surfing – the waves along the Northern Norway coastline are at their best in winter. And perhaps when you're least expecting it, the Northern Lights will shimmer above you, often as early as August/September.

KYSTRIKSVEIEN WHEN THE JOURNEY BECOMES THE DESTINATION The Coastal Route is an exciting touring route between Steinkjer and Bodø. Large parts of it are a National Tourist Route, and many people say that it’s the world’s most beautiful coast. The Coastal Route should be savoured, and we recommend allowing enough time to visit at least one of the islands. You can drive the 650 km (400 miles) in 1–2 days, but we recommend spending 4–5.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES Mighty mountains and rock formations such as the Seven Sisters, Dønnamannen and Torghatten. Glacier walking on the Svartisen glacier. RIB or kayak trips in an archipelago of many thousands of islands. Saltstraumen, the world’s strongest tidal current. The Vega Archipelago World Heritage Site. The Norwegian Aviation Museum, Petter Dass Museum and Norveg. Old trading communities and fishing villages. This is just the beginning…

Along the world’s most beautiful coastline Fv17 - Bodø - Steinkjer

USEFUL TIPS Our annual Travel Guide includes everything you need to know about the trip along the Coastal Route. We would be delighted to help you plan and book your trip along the Coastal Route.

THE TASTE OF NORTHERN NORWAY

Try Northern Norway specialities made from fresh, local ingredients. In Northern Norway, top-quality ingredients from land and sea are available on our doorstep, so why not sample our local food? People here have been harvesting the rich natural larder for thousands of years.

In today's modern society, people want to preserve the old culinary traditions, so fresh, local ingredients are the focus for Northern Norwegian restaurants. Along the coast, you will find the catch of the day: fresh fish, prawns, whale and king crab. Grilled dried fish is one of the mouth-watering new ways of preparing traditional food. And reindeer meat is at the heart of Sami cuisine – tasty, mild, but distinctively wild. Salmon is always on the menu in Northern Norway, but make sure you try a different inland fish like trout or whitefish if you get the chance. www.nordnorge.com/en/north-norwegian-cuisine www.nordnorge.com

H U R T I G R U T E N IS

THE BEST WAY

Sail with us and experience the Arctic wilderness north of the Arctic Circle. Exactly how you wish to explore the midnight sun, the Northern Lights, the delicious local food and the unique scenery is entirely up to you. However, if you want to make your trip extra special, we highly recommend joining our excursions. In Northern Norway, you can choose between everything from RIB safaris and whale safaris, to Viking festivities and sea eagle safaris or simply enjoy the view from the deck.

A Hurtigruten voyage is the perfect way to explore Northern Norway’s magnificent coastline. No other journey over land or sea will leave you with such strong impressions — and none could be more meaningful either. Our ships have been bringing coastal communities together for over 120 years and still act as a vital artery today.

DISCOVER NORWAY WITH HURTIGRUTEN

TO EXPLORE NORTHERN NORWAY

Regardless of where or when you travel with Hurtigruten, you won’t just feel like a real explorer — you will actually be one.

NATIONAL TOURIST ROUTES © Jarle Wæhler / Statens Vegvesen / Snøhetta AS / Eggum, Lofoten

HELGELAND COAST

LOFOTEN

ANDØYA

This route is linked by six ferry crossings and offers a drive full of contrasts, with a rich cultural landscape, peaks, glaciers, coastline and ocean currents. The coast is famous for an archipelago of over 14,000 islands and islets, and our route takes us past Torghatten mountain with its hole, the Seven Sisters, the Arctic Circle, Svartisen and Saltstraumen, the world's strongest tidal current.

All year round, Lofoten is a journey through magnificent natural scenery. The combina tion of ocean, craggy mountains plunging into the water, tiny fishing villages, white beaches and crystal-clear water make Lo foten really special. In summer, that means that the road can be busy, so it's good to know that you can find tiny, hidden corners and lovely detours en-route.

Andøya National Tourist Route follows the outer edge of the island, giving magnificent views of white beaches, craggy mountains and open sea. There are vast marshes from which mountains rise steeply, up to 700 m (2300 ft.) high. Andøya has three nature reserves that have been described as a ge ology textbook. In summer, there is a ferry connection linking Andenes and Gryllefjord.

There are still roads that don't just aim to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. With National Tourist Routes, you can enjoy beautiful drives and sights that are a little out of the ordinary. Six out of Norway's eighteen National Tourist Routes are in Northern Norway. Each of the routes is special in its own way, with its own story to tell. You can also combine several of the routes and add in ferries or Hurtigruten boats to create exciting round trips. See www.nasjonaleturistveger.no

SENJA

HAVØYSUND

VARANGER

Senja National Tourist Route is on Norway's second biggest island, and is another alter native to the E6 and Hurtigruten. Get here via the bridge from the mainland (E6 via Finnsnes) or ferry from Tromsø. The steep mountains plunging into the sea are aston ishing and the most memorable feature of the route. And if you're looking for a hiking paradise, then Senja is the place.

Havøysund National Tourist Route is the road to the far north. It follows the Arctic Ocean, winding through dramatic cliffs and wild natural scenery, where bare mountains plunge straight down into the sea. From Havøysund, you can take a ferry to Rolvsøy, Ingøya and Fruholmen Lighthouse. It's a perfect route if you want to enjoy nature on a bicycle.

Varanger National Tourist Route follows the fjord and the coast of the Barents Sea. From birch forest and marshland plateaus to craggy cliffs and dramatic moonscapes, the route offers a journey through the contrasts of nature and the arctic climate. It is one of Northern Europe's richest bird areas. Fishing, migration and trade have made Varanger an arctic melting pot.

Take your pick of the white beaches on the islands dotted beside the National Tourist Route on its outer edge, or stop at the ruins of the old nickel mine, where the world’s first hydro-electric power station began in 1882. Pause at Bergsbotn or Tungeneset, where spectacular views of the fjord stretch as far as the Okshornan moun tain range. Don’t forget Husøy, where the wind is so fierce that the roofs in the densely packed village have to be tied down. Summer ferry from Botnhamn to Brensholmen.

AN ARCTIC ADVENTURE ON SVALBARD LONGYEARBYEN - BARENTSBURG - KAPP LINNÉ - 80° NORTH Svalbard has four months of 24-hour daylight in summer, and three months of total darkness in winter. Both seasons are wonderful times to visit. Travel to Longyearbyen on Svalbard is by plane. The city is now a modern community of 2,600 inhabitants from over 40 different countries. Explore the city’s excellent restaurants, culture and shops. There is no road network between Svalbard’s set tlements, so everyone goes by snowmobile or boat. You can hire a snowmobile, but we don’t recommend taking it into the arctic desert climate on your own. Join a guided snowmobile tour to the Russian outpost of Barentsburg with 350 inhabitants from Russia and Ukraine. In winter, go dog sledding to ice caves, or join a snowmobile safari through the Aventdalen to the Tempelfjord glacier. In summer, go by boat and boot to Kapp Linné and the home of Isfjord Radio. Or you take a cruise up to northwest Spitsbergen and as far as 80° North. You can’t get closer to the North Pole than that.

The Narvik region is a place of excitement, contrast and drama. You can ski from off-piste slopes, 1000 m high (3280 ft.) right down into the city centre, where urban Narvik offers plenty of history, culture and nature. Narvikfjellet mountain is also lovely in summer. Take the gondola up to the mountain restaurant, 656 m (2152 ft.) high, and enjoy the amazing view. The Ofoten iron ore line between Narvik and Kiruna in Sweden is famous for its breath-taking scenery and his tory during the German occupation in 1940. To find out more, visit the new Narvik Centre and learn how the war left its mark all over the region. Hike in the footsteps of the migrant workers, from Katterat to Rombaksbotn, or go right across Norway, from the border to Rombaksbotn and by boat to Narvik city centre.

In winter, experience the Northern Lights with a little extra magic. Try sleeping in an enclosure with the wolves at the Polar Park, or learn about Sami culture in the Beisfjordfjell mountains – the perfect base for Northern Lights safaris. Before leaving the Narvik region, why not visit the Northern Norwegian Boat Museum and learn about our coastal culture? And don't miss the Winter Festival in March – a step back in time and the chance to enjoy cul ture and history in a great festival atmosphere. Read more about THE NARVIK REGION on page 64.

SUMMER DAYS AND RORBU NIGHTS Towering mountains, tiny coastal villages, ‘rorbu’ fishermen’s cabins, friendly quayside galleries and restaurants. Add in the adrenalin rush from Unstad’s surfing paradise – and you have Lofoten. This archipelago is way out west in the North Sea, and has depended on cod for many centuries. In late winter, cod migrate to Lofoten from the Barents Sea, and you will see the results of the annual fishery hanging on the drying racks for export worldwide. Try deep sea fishing in the village of Nusfjord, where you can sleep under the midnight sun or Northern Lights and wake up to the lapping of the waves in a ‘rorbu’, a tiny red-painted cabin built over the water allowing you to enjoy a traditional atmosphere but with every modern comfort. Become a Viking for the day at the Viking Museum at Borg, or go on a ferry cruise in the 34

spectacular Reinefjord, taking in the ‘Reine Ord’ literature festival. Stroll around the Svolvær art galleries, enjoy local delicacies in Henningsvær or join the surfers testing the might of the waves at Unstad. Lofoten is ablaze with colour in summer and powdered with perfect white skiing snow in winter, lit up above by the flaming Northern Lights. Read more about LOFOTEN on page 68.

DID YOU KNOW... Old Norwegian took the name cod (‘torsk’) from dried fish (‘tørrfisk’), and at times, several million fish can be hanging on the drying racks. Most are exported to Italy and Croatia.

Vesterålen and its chalk-white beaches are more than a painter’s dream – its waters are teeming with wildlife and sea eagles soar overhead. It’s one of the few places in the world that can guarantee you will see whales. The fishing villages of Vesterålen tend to shelter on leeward shores, leaving the rest to the forces of nature. The National Tourist Route along Andøy’s Atlantic coast affords you magnificent beach, mountain and sea views. The tiny villages of Stø and Andenes are perfect for whale-watching tours.

Hurtigruten boats arriving in Vesterålen take a detour into the spectacular Trollfjorden, only 70 m wide at its narrowest point and with a name as dramatic as its sheer granite cliffs. Hop a few islands from Lødingen’s ‘Eye in Stone’ sculp ture, and learn just how old the Sami reindeer tradition is.

Start your day in South Troms with a walk between strawberry fields and mountain peaks. Down on the coast, try deep sea fishing from Harstad, then enjoy the town’s art and culture. Learn about the region in Viking times, the Middle Ages and the Second World War at the Trondenes Historical Centre. Viking monuments are particularly profuse at Bjarkøy, once the seat of the Vikings’ most powerful chieftain Tore Hund, who not only founded a trade empire, but also slayed Olav the Holy in 1030, the year Christianity arrived in Norway. The medieval church in Trondenes was erected on the site of Hålogaland’s first church. Harstad itself is a lively town with great restaurants and an art and culture scene as fertile as the green mountainsides. Its Festival of North Norway fills the June evenings with international music, theatre, visual arts and literature.

The Coastal Heritage Road south of Harstad from Tjeldsund Bridge is an experience in itself. Learn about Nort hern Norway’s boat-building heritage from the unique collection at the Northern Norway Boat Museum in G ratangen – and see how the boatyard next door is maintaining the tradition. Ferry and bike are the best ways to get around the islands here. Summit-baggers get off on Grytøya, and climb their way to stunning views of vast areas. Or maybe you’d rather get in touch with your competitive side in the Tour de Andørja cycle race? If you just want to enjoy life, go to Kvæfjord, the garden of Hinnøya and Troms. Its sheltered location gives it a climate perfect for what must be the sweetest strawberries in Norway. Not quite what you expect, north of the Arctic Circle! Read more about SOUTH TROMS on page 84.

The National Tourist Route hugs its outer edge, giving you jagged peaks, welcoming bays and fishing villages. Meet the world’s biggest troll and his wife in the Senjatrollet theme park, then follow the National Tourist Route for 90 km from fjord to fjord through astonishingly different natural landscapes. View these from the exciting architecturally designed view points at Tungeneset and Bergsbotn.

Further south and inland, you reach Salangsdalen and the Polar Park. This unique park gives you a rare chance to get really close to bears, wolves, lynxes and arctic foxes. Many of the wild animals are socialised, and a nuzzle from a wolf is not something you are going to forget! The vast areas of wilderness in these border mountains are ideal for walking, hunting and fishing. You can stay in huts and cabins along the Nordkalottruta, a marked hik ing trail of over 800 km criss-crossing Norway, Sweden and Finland. Salmon fishermen head for Europe’s longest salmon lad der on the Målselva river with Målselvfossen, Norway’s national waterfall, or the quiet waters in the forests of Øvre Dividal National Park. If you’re an adventurer at heart, go exploring by boot, bike, boat, ski or even dog sled. Read more about CENTRAL TROMS on page 86.

Celebrate the midnight sun with the Midnight Sun mara thon, and hear musicians from all over the world during the many summer festivals. In the wintertime you can experience Tromsø as a true arctic capital, with the many Northern Lights activities on offer. Become spellbound by classical music at the Northern Lights F estival, or join around 50,000 visitors for the International Film Festival. You won’t actually see polar bears in the city’s streets, but in the National Rein deer Racing Championship you will see jockeys on skis behind reindeer storming at a gallop through the heart of the city.

Walk across Northern Europe’s biggest gorge on a sus pension bridge in Kåfjord, or even bungee right off the bridge. An hour in a boat along the canyon of the Reisa River takes you to the 269 m high Mollisfossen waterfall thundering down at the entrance to the National Park.

The long road to the end of Europe takes you past green plateaus, grazing reindeer and tiny fishing villages. At 71º North, the North Cape plateau rises 300 m (985 ft.) straight up from the sea, and the view is forever. It’s even better in the midnight sun or with the Northern Lights shimmering in the sky above you. Slightly west of the North Cape plateau, you will come to Gjesvær. Go on a bird safari round one of Norway’s big gest bird cliffs to see puffins with their striking coloured beaks, and the penguin-like guillemot. If you’re lucky, you might even see a sea eagle.

Or go and see the UNESCO World Heritage listed rock carvings of Alta, 6,000 years old and carved across huge rock faces. Get a great night’s sleep snuggled up on a reindeer hide in Alta’s ice hotel. The hotel and its ice sculptures melt in the spring and are rebuilt for the next winter. Europe’s longest sled dog race, the 1,000 km (600 mile) Finn marksløpet, starts in March. Watch the race along the route between Alta and Kirkenes and join in some great local activities and cultural events. The small coastal communities around Hammerfest are a dream come true for deep sea fishermen. This is the world’s most northerly city, and there are signs that there has been trade and fishing here for many cen turies.

DID YOU KNOW... The king crab can weigh up to 10 kg (22 lb), and is considered a delicacy all over the world. It was introduced to the Murmansk Fjord in the 1960s by Soviet researchers, to improve Murmansk’s economy, and has since spread right across the Barents Sea.

A COLOURFUL BORDERLAND 3

Large plateau areas and tiny, thriving coastal communities are characteristic of East Finnmark, and in Kirkenes, the final destination on both the Hurtigruten and the E6 routes, you can really sense that Russia is not far away. A little further north, in Varanger, is one of Norway's best birdwatching areas. You will also find Norway's most easterly point here too - Vardø, which is situated on the same latitude as Istanbul. Don't be surprised to hear Russian spoken in Kirkenes, or to see Russian king crab on the menu. You can even walk right up to the border with Russia, as well as Treriksrøysa, a cairn that marks the border between Norway, Russia and Finland.

If you're taking Hurtigruten from the North Cape to Kirkenes in winter, you will be treated to a uniquely beautiful experience. As you sail in to Kjøllefjord, the cliffs of Finnkirka light up in arctic colours. Gaze out across the Arctic Ocean from a lighthouse in Gamvik or Kjølnes. Where the Hurtigruten docks in Kirkenes, there are many memorials to the Second World War, which left its mark on the arctic landscape. The air raid siren sounded more than 1,000 times in Kirkenes during the war, making it the most bombed town on the European mainland. Bring your birdwatching binoculars to Varanger, as the east-facing Varangerfjord has a climate that allows even migratory birds to survive the winter. Bring your fishing rod, too – the Tana River and its tributaries are one of Norway's best salmon fishing spots. It's also popular for hunting. Read more about EAST FINNMARK on page 108.

THE KINGDOM OF THE POLAR BEAR

2 3

www.northernnorway.com

Svalbard’s high arctic climate, only 1,000 km from the North Pole, offers four months of light days and midnight sun in summer, and three months of total darkness in winter, with only the Northern Lights flaring across the sky. Keep a sharp lookout for a glimpse of a polar bear. With its vast glacier fields, Svalbard is sure to cast a spell on you. The old mines in the mountains around Long yearbyen are a reminder of why people decided to live so far north in the first place. With virtually no vegetation, the Svalbard reindeer, which has been here for ten thou sand years, lives only on moss and lichen. The Svalbard archipelago was discovered in the 16th century, and developed into the natural place from which to launch polar exhibitions. Why not join a tour in Long yearbyen, long or short? The environment here can be hard and merciless, but is also rich in fossils and wildlife. You could come across a polar bear at any time, and leav ing the built-up area without a weapon is not advisa ble. This far north you can also see whales, seals, killer whales, walruses, arctic foxes and the Svalbard grouse. Why not ride a snowmobile or dog sled to the Russian outpost of Barentsburg, or Kapp Linné – in the midnight sun or in total darkness, depending on which season you choose. The arctic light, the vast areas and the endless land scape of ice and mountains is humbling in its immensity. However, Longyearbyen is exuberant with its energetic social life, shopping, museums, gourmet restaurants and amazing wine cellars. It’s a unique place – a blend of cold, luxury, the magnificent and the merciless. Read more about SVALBARD/SPITSBERGEN on page 114.

5 DID YOU KNOW... The polar bear is the world’s largest terrestrial carni vore. It has become the symbol of Svalbard and the cold arctic, even though you rarely see it around people.

– Memories for life

•

Helgeland is a stretch of paradise in the southern part of the county of Nordland. Mountains standing almost 2000 metres (6560 feet) high tower inland, while the coast is home to an incredible archipelago, seemingly created for island hopping by bike and kayak. In this fairy-tale land, you will discover many islands inhabited by tiny communities, where people have lived and worked for thousands of years. Many of the islands boast comfortable accommodation, excellent restaurants serving local delicacies and a vibrant cultural scene. Take the ferry and/or express boat and hop between islands. You can explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Vegaøyan archipelago, the Seven Sisters waterfall and the Torghatten mountain, to name just a few.

ISLAND HOPPING BY BIKE

KAYAKING

HIKING

If you can, set aside at least four or five days for island hopping, as travelling between the islands takes time. Luggage transport is available on certain routes. Book your accommodation in plenty of time — July in particular can often be fully booked. Bikes can be hired from the tourist information offices in Brønnøysund and Sandnessjøen, from Havblikk Camping at Nesna and from Ørnes Hotell in Meløy. You can also reserve bikes online via visithelgeland.com. Ask for our free cycling brochure and cycle map to plan your adventure, or download it from visithelgeland.com.

The Helgeland coast is considered to be one of Norway’s best areas for sea kayaking. The narrow fjords, magnificent mountains and thousands of islands offer plenty of variety and adventure. Find your own little beach or deserted island, put up your tent, fish for your dinner and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. You can hire kayaks from one of our professional suppliers, which also offer guided excursions and courses. Check out visithelgeland. com for an overview of kayak suppliers and some kayaking tips.

Pack your walking boots and explore the fantastic Helgeland landscape. Head for the summits of the Seven Sisters, take the easy route up to Torghatten or visit Norway’s latest tourist cabin, Rabothytta. This cabin is situated 1200 metres (3930 feet) above sea level at the edge of the glacier in the Okstind massif. Rødøyløva and Dønnamannen are other well-known excursion destinations, and if you’re looking for an extra challenge, Oksskolten is Northern Norway’s highest mountain at over 1900 metres (6230 feet) above sea level. For descriptions of these walking routes and many others, go to visithelgeland.com.

Our HELGELAND GUIDE (Norwegian, English and German) offers hints and tips about accommodation, activities and sightseeing. The guide is free and can be downloaded or ordered from visithelgeland.com.

Tromsø is situated in the heart of the Arctic wilderness, surrounded by high mountains and beautiful fjords. This makes it easy to combine urban experiences like going to cafés, shopping, concerts and theatres with exploring the stunning natural landscape. Dog sledding trips, snowmobile safaris, Northern Lights safaris, kayaking, fishing and mountain walks are just some of the activities you can enjoy, depending on the time of year you choose to visit our region. At www.visittromso.no, you will find everything you need to know to plan your own Arctic adventure. You can book activities online.

Welcome to Tromsø!
