Varanger is located below the so-called northern lights oval. This makes it perfect to see the northern lights on cloudless days. There is no need to drive around looking, the northern lights are right outside the door. In Vestre Jakobselv, there is little light pollution, which makes the experience easier and better. You can enjoy the northern lights on the stairs outside your holiday home or apartment. Or simply from the room window.

There are many ways to experience the Northern Lights. Right outside the accommodation unit. On a scooter safari, in free flow on the fjord. Dog sledding across the plateau. The possibilities are many, the choice is yours.

Combine the Northern Lights hunt with other activities

It is easy to combine the Northern Lights hunt with other activities. The area is known for its rich history, very special bird life, beautiful and magnificent nature. So you are guaranteed to have great experiences no matter what you choose. A fishing trip on the fjord, a ski trip on the plateau, a hiking trip on the shore, or just lying in the snow.

Meet the locals

Our small village is full of life. Here you meet the locals at the cafe, on the ski track or on a walk in the village. It is only a short way into Vadsø center, which until now has been the county capital of Finnmark. Here are shops, cafes, a great library and a wonderful museum. Here are also several historical hiking trails.

With us you can rent a holiday home or an apartment and new activities and the northern lights right outside the door. Got to know the locals. Or just relax in your own company. We look forward to hearing from you and being your host in Varanger.
