To do - Top 3!
Narvikfjellet is primarily known as an Arctic ski destination and an exotic spot for freeriding, summit tours, and lift-accessed off-piste skiing. However, its well-groomed trail network, featuring varied terrain suitable for beginners, families, and children, remains less recognized among ski tourists.
The breathtaking views of Ofotfjorden and the surrounding mountains, combined with the exhilarating experience of skiing from the summit down to the fjord, make skiing in Narvik truly unique, whether you prefer freeriding or groomed slopes. The changing light conditions—from the dark winter days and floodlit slopes in December to the midnight sun and constant daylight in May—add a new dimension to your skiing experience, depending on when you choose to visit.
The mountain is renowned for its reliable winter snow, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors. Narvikfjellet also serves as a community hub, hosting events and competitions that bring together those seeking raw nature experiences and outdoor activities.
In Narvik, you can experience both the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun—two natural phenomena that draw visitors from around the world.
Northern Lights
The Northern Lights are a spectacular light phenomenon that occurs when solar winds collide with the Earth’s magnetic field. In Narvik, this breathtaking display can be witnessed from late autumn to early spring. The clear, dark night sky provides perfect conditions to see the green, purple, and sometimes red lights dancing over the mountains and the horizon.
Midnight Sun
The Midnight Sun is another incredible phenomenon that occurs during the summer when the sun doesn’t set below the horizon. In Narvik, which lies above the Arctic Circle, the Midnight Sun can be experienced from late May to mid-July. This results in long, bright days, allowing for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and cycling in the stunning landscape. It’s a magical experience to see the sun shining on the mountains and fjord even at midnight.
The cable car Narvikfjellet is a popular attraction that offers visitors stunning views and easy access to the pristine Arctic wilderness of the high mountains. This modern cable car takes guests from approximately 200 meters to about 700 meters above sea level, where they can enjoy panoramic views of Ofotfjorden and the surrounding peaks.
The scenic ride up the mountain allows for admiration of the landscape, whether blanketed in snow during winter or blooming with life in summer.
At the top of the cable car, you'll find the Mountain Restaurant, which serves as a hub for hiking and biking in the summer, as well as alpine runs and off-piste areas in the winter.
The cable car lift is the perfect starting point for your adventure in Narvikfjellet, providing both locals and visitors a fantastic opportunity to explore the magnificent scenery with ease. A ride on the gondola is a must when visiting Narvik!
