Almost at the northernmost point in Europe, and right by the border of Russia, and Finnish Lapland, Kirkenes is a fascinating melting pot of these neighbor cultures, together with the ingredients from Norway and the indigenous Sami people.
Kirkenes and Sør-Varanger municipality is unique with its combination of tundra, mountains, dense pine forests and literally thousands of lakes.
The area is blessed with long, cold and stable winters, and short, but green and even lush summers.
Winter: November - April
The region is blessed with long, cold and stable winters, with lots of snow and lots of cold, in a world where there is lesser and lesser of both.
And - the more snow, the more fun, and the colder, the more beautiful.
So we love the snow and the cold, and we think you will too when you have visited us!
From mid November there are two months of no sun, which is called the polar night. This period is far from being a state of only darkness, on the contrary its filled by magnificent polar light, from pink to orange skies in the day to the mesmerizing veils of northern lights in the afternoon and evenings.
In Kirkenes the winters are stable, and we have snow through the whole winter.
When the sun returns in the end of January, "Sun-winter" begins, and the locals wake up from winter hibernation, and start going out to their cabins, and on skiing, snowmobile and ice fishing trips. So should you!
