Description

We take you on a scenic drive through the fjords and mountains surrounding Narvik, passing small villages, traditional Norwegian homes, and the beautiful landscapes of Grovfjord and Gratangen.

The evening's main stop is at a campfire site in peaceful Arctic surroundings, far from light pollution. There are no crowds. No rush. Just darkness, fresh air, snow under your feet and open sky. Warm drinks and light snacks are served as we wait to see if the Northern Lights will appear.

Unlike our Aurora Hunt Loop, we do not chase the Northern Lights. Instead, we enjoy the campfire, snacks, and the Arctic atmosphere while waiting for nature's show to begin. Sleds are available for those who would like to enjoy a ride in the snow when conditions allow.

If conditions allow, the Northern Lights may appear above the mountains — a natural highlight to an already authentic Arctic evening.
