Many visitors underestimate the distances, weather, transport options and possible delays. Get in touch with the tourist offices (I work at one) and they will give practical advice. Hiking is only a summer activity and summer is very short.

Visiting a remote place in Northern Norway. A three hrs and forty- five minutes ride from Alta is a place called Oksfjørd. A scenic and picturisque place. And to add from it try to explore the island of Hasvik where you can find wild blueberries, cloudberries and edible mushrooms. Oh how i love these places I have been to.

Kirkenes, the turn around area for the Hurtigruten is very interesting and I just read a book titled, “Fire & Ice” by Vincent Hunter about the invasion of Northern Norway during WWII. What great people live there and still appreciate how the Russians helped during that time.
