Midnight Sun

Between 17 May to 21 July, the sun never sets in Kirkenes. This natural phenomenon, known as the Midnight Sun, turns night into golden daylight. Just like the Northern Lights define the Arctic winter, the Midnight Sun defines summer in Northern Norway. Join us for guided hikes and active outdoor experiences in the soft Arctic night light.

Midnight Sun Hike

Walk along the Arctic coastline as the sun circles the horizon without setting. This guided 5 km hike above Kirkenes delivers panoramic views of the Bøkfjord — the summer's answer to the northern lights.

Midnight Sun E-Fatbike Tour

Experience the Arctic’s Midnight Sun on two wheels. Ride electric fatbikes through forest trails during the endless daylight — a defining Arctic phenomenon that makes this region unique.
