Skiing and other winter sports that are aplenty here
Seeing the Northern Lights

The summer months - June to August are the high season here. There are flocks of tourists coming in to Norway, so be sure to book accommodation well in advance. This is also the time to see the Midnight Sun - the further north you are, the more likely you are to see it, so don't miss out!
