Since the Middle Ages, they have supported trade routes that linked distant shores. Bergen, a key city in Norway, became the gateway for dried fish from the north, particularly the prized stockfish from Lofoten, which was traded widely across Europe. This trade helped establish Bergen as a busy centre, with Hanseatic merchants playing a key role in its importance in global trade. The Pomor trade further highlighted this connection, with Northern Norway\u2019s fishermen exchanging fish with Russian traders from the White Sea. This relationship mirrored the open, seafaring nature of both regions and contributed to the vibrant coastal communities we see today.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide

In Northern Norway, traditional dishes like t\u00f8rrfisk (stockfish) and rakfisk (fermented fish) are integral to the region\u2019s long history of preserving fish for the harsh winters.

herring), all reflecting the region\u2019s maritime heritage. Food is a vital part of the Norwegian experience, with each region offering distinct culinary traditions that give travellers an authentic taste of Norwegian culture. Many dishes are prepared much as they were in the past, but with a modern touch, highlighting sustainable and seasonable ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>The Charm of Contrasting Landscapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Northern Norway and the western part of the country share attractions such as fjords, glaciers, and spectacular coastal landscapes that draw tourists each year. However, they differ in several noticeable ways. Fjord Norway is renowned for its deep, long fjords like Sognefjord and Geirangerfjord, where towering mountains rise dramatically from the water\u2019s edge, creating some of the most iconic views in the country. In contrast, Northern Norway has a more varied landscape, with fjords, islands, and wide plateaus. This region spans the counties of Nordland, Troms, and Finnmark, offering a mix of coastal beauty and wild landscapes that attract adventurers and nature lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

In Northern Norway, the midnight sun lights up summer nights, while the aurora borealis fascinates winter visitors.

For thousands of years, the S\u00e1mi people have lived in harmony with this rough environment, and today, visitors can experience and learn more about their traditions through art, music, and unique activities like reindeer sledding. As you travel along the West Coast, fishing remains central to coastal communities, with many locals still using traditional methods to gather the sea&#8217;s resources. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content is-post-type-topic wp-block-t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content-layout-col-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t<div class=\"default-card wp-block-t2-wrapper\">\n<a class=\"t2-post-link wp-block-t2-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/topic\/the-sami-are-the-indigenous-people-of-the-north\/\">\n<div class=\"t2-post-dynamic-part is-source-filter filter-default_card wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\">\n\t\t<figure style=\"--t2-focal-point: 64% 46.268656716418%;\" class=\"t2-post-featured-image has-image-ratio-16-9 wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SAMI-PEOPLE-LAVVO-2-FINNMARK-NORWAY-PHOTO-CHRISTIAN-ROTH-CHRISTENSEN-5848313_1500.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h2>The Sami<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content is-post-type-artikler todo-art todo-culture-and-history todo-sapmi-culture region-finnmarksvidda malgrupper-culture-lover malgrupper-modernist wp-block-t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content-layout-col-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t<div class=\"default-card wp-block-t2-wrapper\">\n<a class=\"t2-post-link wp-block-t2-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-sami-centre-for-contemporary-arts\/\">\n<div class=\"t2-post-dynamic-part is-source-filter filter-default_card wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\">\n\t\t<figure style=\"--t2-focal-point: 51.065002441406% 55.022573829594%;\" class=\"t2-post-featured-image has-image-ratio-16-9 wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1fc7d304d906949c5d7e3b0a79f8ed4b-768x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-region\">\n\t\t\t\tFinnmarksvidda\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<h2>The Sami Centre for Contemporary Arts<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-activities\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 640 512\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-activites\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M625.941 293.823L421.823 497.941c-18.746 18.746-49.138 18.745-67.882 0l-.36-.36L592 259.882 331.397 0h48.721a48 48 0 0 1 33.941 14.059l211.882 211.882c18.745 18.745 18.745 49.137 0 67.882zm-128 0L293.823 497.941C284.451 507.314 272.166 512 259.882 512c-12.284 0-24.569-4.686-33.941-14.059L14.059 286.059A48 48 0 0 1 0 252.118V48C0 21.49 21.49 0 48 0h204.118a47.998 47.998 0 0 1 33.941 14.059l211.882 211.882c18.745 18.745 18.745 49.137 0 67.882zM464 259.882L252.118 48H48v204.118l211.886 211.878L464 259.882zM144 96c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48s21.49 48 48 48 48-21.49 48-48-21.49-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\tArt\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content is-post-type-artikler todo-culture-and-history todo-sapmi-culture region-finnmarksvidda malgrupper-heritage-explorer wp-block-t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content-layout-col-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t<div class=\"default-card wp-block-t2-wrapper\">\n<a class=\"t2-post-link wp-block-t2-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/samiid-vuorka-davvirat-the-sami-collections\/\">\n<div class=\"t2-post-dynamic-part is-source-filter filter-default_card wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\">\n\t\t<figure style=\"--t2-focal-point: 50% 50%;\" class=\"t2-post-featured-image has-image-ratio-16-9 wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde18-768x507.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-region\">\n\t\t\t\tFinnmarksvidda\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<h2>S\u00e1miid Vuork\u00e1-D\u00e1vvirat &#8211;

Although the S\u00e1mi culture is most prominent in the north, similar themes of resilience, resourcefulness, and a close relationship with nature have also shaped the traditions of coastal communities in the Fjord Region.

When thetide comes in, there is simply way too much water pressing its way through the narrows. Afantastic spectacle ofwhirlpools can be observed from the cliffs on the shore as the waterrushes through in 10 to 15 knots.

Cross country skiing in Sulitjelma is recognised as some of the best in the whole of Norway. In Sulisfjellet, Fjellfarer runs cross-country trails, which Martin Johnsrud Sundby describes as World Cup standard. Dog sledding is another authentic winter experience that you can enjoy either as a passenger or driving your own team. No previous experience is needed to drive the sled into the white landscapes and enjoy the arctic nature. You get to meet your dogs first and prepare the sled together. They are a bunch of barking huskies more excited than you to start the trip! They are well used to visitors, great with children and love getting your attention and petting.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023103_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023103_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Sulitjelma on a winter evening @ Zdeno Dvorak - Nordnorge.com\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023103_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Sulitjelma on a winter evening @ Zdeno Dvorak - Nordnorge.com\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023086_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023086_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"On the windy days, there is shelter to be found @ Zdeno Dvorak - Nordnorge.com\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023086_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"On the windy days, there is shelter to be found @ Zdeno Dvorak - Nordnorge.com\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023091_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023091_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"On top of the mountains of Sulitjelma @ Zdeno Dvorak - Nordnorge.com\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/web-023091_Zdeno-Dvorak_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"On top of the mountains of Sulitjelma @ Zdeno Dvorak - Nordnorge.com\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Sulitjelma on a winter evening @ Zdeno Dvorak &#8211; Nordnorge.com<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: On the windy days, there is shelter to be found @ Zdeno Dvorak &#8211; Nordnorge.com<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: On top of the mountains of Sulitjelma @ Zdeno Dvorak &#8211; Nordnorge.com<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-troms-paris-of-the-north\">Troms\u00f8 &#8211; Paris of the North<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A vibrant city with arctic history, culture and cuisine, surrounded by mountains, fjords and islands below the Northern Lights.
