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

4

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 8

then strike the particles in the upper layers of the atmosphere. The first Northern Lights often appear in mid-August. How­ ever, optimal conditions for safaris are 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

Fresh cod from the cold sea, fish dried in the sun and wind, a newly-arrived monster in the depths and reindeer from the mountains and plains; Northern Norway is a generous land full of surprises for the palate. Northern Norwegian cuisine is about quality ingredients almost exclusively sourced locally. Traditional preparation is simple in order to highlight the natural flavour, while today’s chefs add new elements from world cuisine and the great French tradition, but only to complement and enhance. Arctic cod In January and February, the waters outside Lofoten and Vesterålen are teeming with Northeast Arctic cod, which come here to spawn. During this fishing season mølja is made from cod roe, cod livers and cod flesh. Served with potatoes and carrots, this makes for a hearty and flavourful delicacy. Cod tongues are coated in flour and bread crumbs and fried in butter, and taste heavenly as a casual meal. www.nordnorge.com

Dried fish In winter the cod is hung on drying racks and dried by the wind and sun. As the temperature stays around freezing, neither smoking nor salting is needed. Up north, the dried fish is eaten as-is, in bite-size pieces as a snack. It is also soaked with a bit of lye to make lutefisk. A special variety is the half-dry boknafesken, which hangs for only a few weeks, giving it a concentrated, rich flavour. It is served with stewed peas or carrots, bits of bacon and potatoes. Halibut, redfish head, haddock The white flesh of halibut has a delicate, mild flavour, and steamed halibut with potatoes is a traditional Christmas dinner. Dried strips of halibut fat are eaten as a snack. Auar’n, redfish, is a deep sea fish that is eaten both fresh and cured. The heads are boiled, then eaten by sucking out the contents — not a dish for the faint of heart. Haddock is used to make fish pudding, fish balls and fishcakes, which are common fare up north.

Don’t judge a book by its cover The pollack is perhaps the most misunderstood fish. It has a grayish tinge to its flesh, which many find unappetising and is therefore quite cheap, despite its great flavour. For a typical Monday dinner, pollack filets are coated in flour, fried in butter and served with sautéed onions, grated carrots and potatoes. Gammelsalta sei is pollack that has been layered with salt in a barrel with its own blood. It is left to cure for a year or two, then served parboiled with stewed carrots and potatoes. Bycatch and bait We are spoiled with good ingredients in Northern Norway, so we can be a bit fussy. The wolffish with its ugly teeth and the monkfish with its disturbing, large head were seen as inedible, or bycatch. However, both of these fish have firm, white flesh, and today they are among the most exclusive varieties on restaurant menus. Prawns, shellfish and sea urchins were previously regarded as bait, but have now become incredibly popular in homes and at restaurants.

King crab In January 1977, a fisherman from Bugøynes near the Russian border was shocked to find a real monster in his net. The enormous crab with its huge claws originated in the northernmost waters of the Pacific, but was introduced into the Barents Sea by the Soviets in the 60s. Since then, it has crawled westwards to the North Cape and has also reached as far south as Tromsø. In Kirkenes, Honningsvåg and several other places you can go on a king crab fishing trip. The crab is then boiled and served with bread and mayonnaise, simple and delicious. Reindeer Ten thousand years ago, the first inhabitants of Nordland followed the wild reindeer to Northern Norway; this is the primary motif of the rock carvings. At Sami celebrations like weddings and festivals, they often serve bidos, a reindeer stew with fresh meat, carrots and potatoes. Finnebiff, thin slices of reindeer meat in cream sauce, is another favourite. Reindeer hearts are salted and dried, becoming a flavour explosion of dark meat. If you visit a Sami home, dried reindeer meat is more popular than cakes with coffee, and is passed around on a board with a large Sami knife.

Cloudberries In August, if the flowers survived a chilly early summer, the marshes are full of cloudberries. Mild in flavour, with an inviting colour and full of vitamin C, this berry is highly prized in the north. A good old-fashioned coffee spread will feature a bowl of cloudberry jam for the cakes, and cloudberry cream is made for dessert. Modern Northern Norwegian cuisine The simple, homemade dishes are served at festivals, roadside restaurants and, more and more, at fine dining establishments. Modern Northern Norwegian cuisine, however, is often a harmonious combination of fresh, quality ingredients from the north and impulses from world cuisine, the great French traditions and modern trends. King crab is finding its way into salads and delicious appetisers, or as a contrast in colour and flavour to white fish. Reindeer medallions are served medium rare with red wine sauce, dried fish is cured with a lovely ham instead of the traditional bacon. Creative, well-educated chefs are constantly trying new things, but have a strong interest in both northern ingredients and time-honoured culinary tradition. Be sure to book a table early at restaurants up north; the locals also know how to go out and eat well. www.nordnorge.com

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.

SENJA - OKSHORNAN - HUSØY - TROMSØ Tiny fishing villages cling to narrow strips of land between the mountains and the sea on Senja, Norway’s second largest island. Take your pick of the white beaches on the islands dotted beside the National Tourist Route on its ­outer edge, or stop at the ruins of the old nickel mine, where the world’s first h­ ydroelectric power station began in 1882. Pause at Bergsbotn or Tunge­neset, where spectacular views of the fjord stretch as far as the Okshornan mountain range. Don’t forget Husøy, where the wind is so fierce that the roofs in the densely packed village have to be tied down. Summer ferry from Botnhamn to Brensholmen.

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

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 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…

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

1

CAMP IN DESIGNATED AREAS

2

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.

3

FOLLOW THE PATH AND AVOID CREATING NEW PATHS

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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

10

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

ALCOHOL LIMIT The drink-driving laws in Norway are strict. The legal limit is 0.02 % blood alcohol content.

FISHING REGULATIONS DEEP-SEA FISHING: Sports fishing in the sea with a rod or hand line is free. NB! Only 15 kg of filleted fish may be taken out of Norway, and you are not allowed to sell your catch. FRESHWATER FISHING: Fishing permits are required for freshwater fishing, plus locally purchased permits for fishing in salmon rivers. See www.inatur.no for more info (Website in Norwegian only).

DISINFECT YOUR FISHING EQUIPMENT To prevent the spread of the parasite Gyrodactylus salaris, all fishing equipment must be disinfected if it has been used outside Norway or in rivers or watercourses where contagious diseases have been found or are suspected.

SHOP OPENING TIMES Shops are normally open Monday–Friday from 10:00–17:00. Shopping centres are often open longer. Some supermarkets also open on Sundays. ALCOHOL: Minimum age is 20 to buy spirits, and 18 to buy beer/wine. Legally the sale of beer ends at 20:00 (18:00 on Saturdays, not at all on Sundays).

CURRENCY Payment cards are widely used in Norway, and most shops accept credit cards such as American Express, Diners, Eurocard, Visa and MasterCard. Foreign debit cards are rarely accepted. Cards must have a chip or code. We recommend you use an ATM or shop/kiosk to withdraw Norwegian currency. However, it’s a good idea to bring some cash with you, in case you are somewhere you cannot use your card or if kiosks/shops in remote locations will not allow you to take out cash using your foreign bank card.

CLOTHING SUMMER Always be prepared for changes in weather conditions; it’s better to wear too much clothing than too little, so that you can have a great time without worrying about whether you’ll be cold. Summer temperatures can reach as high as 25 °C, and as low as 8 °C. Check the weather forecast and be prepared. In summer, we recommend a combination of light­ weight and warm clothing. Wind­ proof and water-repellent outer layers are recommended, as are good walking shoes or mountain boots.
