Hotels in Northern Norway, Norway

Northern Norway sits above the Arctic Circle, where winters plunge to -5°F (-20°C) and summers hover around 50°F (10°C). This region is famous for the Northern Lights-best viewed from Tromsø between September and March-and the midnight sun that lets you hike the Lofoten Islands' jagged peaks at 2 AM from May to July. In winter, you can mush dogsled teams across snowy plains near Kirkenes, while summer offers kayaking among the white sands of Kvalvika Beach or fishing for cod in the Vestfjorden.
