The nature in Northern Norway provides you with extraordinary experiences

WELCOME TO NORTHERN NORWAY In the far north of Europe lies a land of craggy peaks, glaciers, fjords, plateaus and countless coastal islands. In summer, the sun shines day and night for weeks on end, while in winter the Northern Lights dance in clear, cold skies. The cultural heritage is equally diverse, with the indigenous Sami population still preserving their unique culture. Cod has been exported from the coast for 1000 years, resulting in colourful fishing villages, historic trading posts and fishermen’s cabins. Mountain hikes and bike rides take you out into the beautiful and surprisingly safe landscape. On the coast you

can go fishing in kayaks, or out on whale-watching safari boats. Rock carvings, Viking houses, mediaeval churches and colourful towns tell of a 10,000 year culture. The rustic cuisine of Northern Norway is inspired by the sea, mountains and plains. Festivals are a mixture of humour, charm, sophistication and energy. The towns of the region are micro-capitals with plenty to see, excellent restaurants, ambitious cultural programmes, cafés and night-life. Getting here doesn’t mean packing for an expedition; a network of airports, ferries and roads, and a great selection of hotels mean that you can travel in style and comfort. And thanks to the Gulf Stream, it’s not as cold as you think. www.northernnorway.com

LIGHT ALL SUMMER NIGHT What, one o’clock in the morning and the sun is shining? A summer’s day lasts for weeks north of the Arctic Circle, filling locals and visitors with joy, energy and a positive mindset. The midnight sun means that the sun is above the horizon at midnight. And the rest of the night. And all day. In fact, the sun doesn’t set for 1800 hours at the North Cape. We are talking weeks of beautiful, energising light. It’s hard to explain until you’ve experienced it. Are you wondering what the midnight sun looks like? In Longyearbyen, midnight at midsummer might as well be in www.nordnorge.com

the middle of the day, while at the North Cape, it feels more like early evening, with warm, golden tones bathing the sea. Further south, where the midnight sun peeps between the mountaintops and hovers just above the horizon, you can bask in the glowing red colours of picture postcards. The midnight sun means endless days and extra energy for new experiences. You might find yourself forgetting to go to bed, or playing golf at midnight. For the locals, socialising or mowing the lawn are perfectly normal activities at midnight, unless they suddenly decide to climb a mountain to look at the sun from a different angle. They also say that the fish bite better at night, but that might just be an excuse for staying up. SEASONS AND CULTURE

The magical Northern Lights arrive along with the darkness of autumn and winter

THE KINGDOM OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS Northern Lights: the best place on earth to see them. They tend to begin as a weak, pale green band, which suddenly begins to move. The green becomes stronger, with an edging of pink. The bands ripple and flow, billowing like curtains. Two or three bands cover the sky. If you’re lucky, the sky explodes in a Corona, with bands of deep purple, electric green, baby pink and white radiating from a centre in constant movement. Nowhere else on earth sees more Northern Lights than we do, and we have the mildest winters in the aurora belt. The Northern Lights occur when charged particles are flung out by the sun. Some of the particles reach Earth, and are pulled by its magnetic field towards the poles. In a ring around these points, the Northern Lights Oval, the particles then strike 8

the particles in the upper layers of the atmosphere. The first Northern Lights often appear in mid-August. However, optimal conditions for safaris are usually between 21 September and 21 March. It’s dark then between 18:00 and 01:00, which is when the aurora most frequently appears. After the end of April, the phenomenon is obscured by the brighter night skies. The secret to seeing the Northern Lights is to go outside. Wear warm clothes, keep moving and get away from town centres – although they do appear there too. Clouds are a Northern Lights hunter’s worst enemy. However, professional guides will take their guests to the outer coastline or arid interior, and usually find clear skies. To be on the safe side and increase your chances, stay for several nights under the Northern Lights Oval. www.northernnorway.com

Best selfie ever: YOU with the Northern Lights in the background

2 NORTHERN LIGHTS PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ‘DUMMIES’ – Put your camera on M for Manual – Set the focus to Infinity – Set the ISO to 3200; you can go down to 1600 or even 800 (depending on the light) – Aperture: ‘f’ must be as wide as possible (the lowest number), f: 1.8, f: 2.8, f: 3.2 – Shutter speed: anything from 2 seconds to 30 seconds; try different settings – Use a tripod (or rest your camera on something steady) – Be patient

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

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 combination of ocean, craggy mountains plunging into the water, tiny fishing villages, white beaches and crystal-clear water make Lofoten 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 geology 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/en

SENJA

HAVØYSUND

VARANGER

Senja National Tourist Route is on Norway's second biggest island, and is another alternative 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 astonishing 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.

FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WITH THE HURTIGRUTEN 24 PORTS FROM KIRKENES TO BRØNNØYSUND

For more than 120 years, Hurtigruten has been the lifeblood of local trade and coastal settlements. The four-day Hurtigruten trip from Kirkenes to Brønnøysund stops at 24 ports. Casting off from Kirkenes, you sail alongside the Varanger Peninsula and arrive at Honningsvåg after your first day's voyage. Eat breakfast here at the North Cape, or learn about Sami culture before levaing for Hammerfest, the world's most northerly town. Enjoy a midnight concert in Tromsø's Arctic Cathedral, or soak up the city's atmosphere. The trip continues to Vesterålen and Lofoten. Our big ship sneaks into the narrow Trollfjord, then turns round, resuming its southerly course past Svolvær and the Lofoten Wall. Between Bodø and Brønnøysund, you cross the Arctic Circle and leave the arctic behind. Before you dock in Brønnøysund, you will see the Seven Sisters mountain range and the Vega Archipelago's UNESCO World Heritage area. Don't miss the characteristic hole in the mountain Torghatten before you leave Brønnøysund. For more information, visit www.nordnorge.com/route7

ROUTE INFORMATION Start: Kirkenes, End: Brønnøysund, Distance: 861 nautical miles / 1,600 km, 4-day voyage – all ports listed on map.

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 settlements, 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.

EXPERIENCE ARTSCAPE NORDLAND 2 Nordland fylke Nordland County

Welcome to a journey across the landscape of Nordland!

Here you will find a landscape that has been sculpted by nature through the ages. This environ ment also features clear traces of many generations' battle to survive alongside their joy, energy and zest for life. Artscape Nordland is an international art project featuring the work of 36 artists invited to participate from 18 countries. The 36 sculptures are dotted across the landscape of 1

“Uten tittel” (Untitled ), Dan Graham, USA / Vågan / © Vegar Moen

35 Norwegian municipalities. It is an art gallery with no walls or ceilings, covering an area of 40,000 km2 (25,000 miles). The natural environment and the artscape are inextricably linked at the point where the sculpture reflects its surroundings, giving each site a new dimension. The dialogue that develops between the artwork and the observer facilitates different ways of understanding and interpreting art. www.skulpturlandskap.no 3

KYSTRIKSVEIEN

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

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…

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.

LOFOTEN CODE OF CONDUCT Welcome to Lofoten, the world's most beautiful islands! Please be considerate of your surroundings by following these simple guidelines. This way, you can be sure that your visit does not diminish other people's experience

CAMP IN DESIGNATED AREAS

LEAVE NO TRACES Avoid leaving traces in nature, such as cairns, tent pegs etc. Allow others to have the same great experience that you've had.

FOLLOW THE PATH AND AVOID CREATING NEW PATHS

THROW WASTE IN THE WASTE BINS If you are in an area without bins, bring your waste with you until you can dispose of it.

USE PUBLIC TOILETS If none are present, go in the ocean or dig a pit in the ground. Avoid using wet wipes, as they take a long time to decompose.

RESPECT PRIVATE PROPERTY Camping closer than 150 metres from an occupied house or cabin is forbidden. You can only camp on cultivated land if you have an agreement with the land owner.

BE CONSIDERATE IN TRAFFIC The roads in Lofoten are narrow, yet many use them. Keep well clear of cyclists when passing them. Be especially mindful of bicycles in tunnels.

BAN ON FIRES During the summer months, there is a general ban on open fires. Use designated sites for fire, and make sure there is no risk for a forest fire.

RESPECT WILDLIFE Avoid disturbing animals unnecessarily. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.

IN THE INTEREST OF THE ENVIRONMENT, as well as your own experience and safety, we recommend activities oranised by tour operator. You can find a list of such organisers on www.lofoten.info

Do you dream of visiting Northern Norway? Maybe you’re wondering what people in the north do when the sun shines all day long, or how people cope without light in the Arctic night? 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, whale 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!

SVALBARD

3000 polar bears and only 2500 people...

Northern Lights by day in Longyearbyen

World’s northernmost statue of Lenin – in Pyramiden

DON’T MISS... That feeling when you’ve arrived at the northernmost destination in the world at 78 degrees north. Enjoy it!

The Arctic wildlife: Polar bear, whale, walrus, seal, arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer

Glacier fronts, characteristic rock

formations, jam-packed bird cliffs and endless Arctic tundra – and four full months of midnight sun

Northern Lights during the day in

midwinter – how many people can say they’ve seen that?

Blue-tinted adventure – the indigo

sky at the darkest time of year is an attraction in itself!

@terjenergard

Pyramiden ghost town – a journey back to the Soviet Union

Follow in the footsteps of the Polar explorers and go on an expedition!

World’s northernmost pub or restaurant? Arctic food and drink experiences are out of the ordinary

Terje Nilssen Svalbard

In Svalbard you can go dogsledding in summer and winter!
