This 7-day Norwegian winter tour combines the Arctic borderlands with the Northern Lights capital, providing multiple aurora viewing opportunities and contrasting Arctic perspectives within a single journey. Kirkenes delivers frontier authenticity: vast wilderness, proximity to Russia, the Snowhotel's extraordinary ice architecture, and king crab hauled fresh from frozen waters. Tromsø brings different energy – a proper Arctic city with restaurants, harbor atmosphere, and sophisticated Northern Lights operations built around real-time forecasting. Both locations sit above the Arctic Circle with excellent aurora viewing conditions during winter months. Your itinerary includes dedicated Northern Lights activities in both destinations, an overnight in the famous Snowhotel, cultural experiences from king crab fishing to Sami traditions, and meals at celebrated local restaurants. With two nights in each Arctic location, you have time to add optional activities like dog sledding, snowmobile tours, or whale watching based on season and preference. Enjoy the ice bar at the snowhotel. Photo by Snowhotel Kirkenes. Experience the magic of the Northern Lights as you glide through the Arctic wilderness.
