Northern Norway Tourist Board

Why Choose Our Destination?

All sorts of guest rooms are available in Northern Norway. There are good hotels in towns and population centers, and private overnight accommodation, inns and hiking association cabins are the more reasonable alternatives. You are likely to find the most distinctive atmosphere in a seahouse or fisherman’s cabin, called a “rorbu”. Camping areas are equipped with everything from tent sites to comfortable cabins. Comfortable hotels of first-class and solid medium-class standard are found in all towns and larger population centres in Northern Norway. In mini-metropolises such as Alta, Tromso and Bodo, there are a number of good hotels, either bed and breakfast or full-service, to choose from. Smaller towns and population centers generally have one full-service hotel with a restaurant and bar. The Norwegian Trekking Association operates a number of huts in mountain areas across all of Northern Norway. Few of the huts are manned, and you generally need to fetch the key in advance. You will need to be a member of the Norwegian Trekking Association in order to stay overnight, but that is easily arranged.
