Winter without skis

The northern lights

Watch nature's own theatre unfold above you as the most spectacular light show takes centre stage: The northern lights with you in the front row.

Kirkenes Snow Hotel

Spend a night at the snow hotel in Kirkenes, Northern Norway. Like David Spinx, you can order a northern lights wake up call before going to bed.

King crab safari

Stop by the heavily guarded Russian border on your way to a king crab safari. And be sure to put on a dry suit and try floating in the Barents Sea.

Winter festivals and events in Norway

There is a lot happening in Norway in winter. Check out some of the festivals and events taking place in December, January and February every year.

Ice climbing in Norway

Climbing up a frozen waterfall in Rjukan is an exceptional experience.

Ice skating in Norway

Go skating outdoors in the middle of Oslo, or on a frozen lake or river in the countryside.

Dog sledding in Norway

Get close to nature on a dog sledding trip this winter, and travel at high speed across the Norwegian wilderness, pulled by a pack of eager huskies.

Reindeer sledging

Let reindeer drag you across the white plains of Finnmark in Northern Norway.

Snowkiting in Norway

Reach speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour on Hardangervidda.

Hunderfossen Winter Park

Europe's first ever winter park is a unique fairy-tale world of ice and snow.
