Why go to Finnmark?

06/12/2024

First of all, where is this place? If you find a map of Norway and place your finger on the top, that's where we're going. The county is the size of Denmark, but only 75.000 people living there. Yet, the reason to go has a lot to do with the people of Finnmark. And of course, all the wild and untouched nature, the special arctic scenary and the culture of our indiginous people, Sami.

Did you know? Finnmark has five National Parks, is 48 637,43 km² big and borders Russia and Finland. Finnmark has the second longest dog run in the world, and the longest dog run in Europe, Finnmarksløpet. 

In the winter the sun don't rise for two whole months, from late november to late january. But for almost two and a half months in the summer, the sun does not set at all, meaning you can see the sun around the clock.
