Summer & autumn tours in Kirkenes: hike, bike, and explore the borderland
From May to October, Kirkenes moves through its most colourful months: round-the-clock daylight in early summer, mild golden evenings in August, and turning birch forests in September and October. It’s a good season for hiking, cycling, and exploring the borderland between Norway, Russia and Finland.
We came as travellers. We stayed for the North.
We first came to Northern Norway as travellers ourselves. Somewhere along the way, Kirkenes became home. Today, we create the kind of experiences we would look for when travelling: personal, active and away from the usual tourist routes. In small groups, we take you into the nature and borderlands around Kirkenes, sharing the places, stories and experiences that made us fall in love with this corner of Northern Norway.
Whether we are hiking to the Russian border, snowshoeing under the Northern Lights or spending time around the fire at a remote wilderness cabin while waiting for the sauna to heat up, our goal is simple: to help you experience Kirkenes beyond the typical sightseeing tour.
