Top 10 Food & Drink in Northern Norway, Northern Norway
Home to both the midnight sun (with constant daylight from April to July) and the northern lights, North Norway is a rugged land of steep mountains, deep fjords and scenic coastline, making it a great place for outdoor adventures like dog sledding, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris. It's also the ancient home of the Sami people, 3,000 of whom live (along with 100,000 reindeer) at Kautokeino, Norway's largest municipality at over 3,700 square miles.

Lovely shop with very friendly owner who was happy to spend an hour talking to us about local life one Saturday afternoon. Very interesting to hear about the influx of Syrian refugees and the north/south divide with Oslo. There is a lovely range of local handicrafts at reasonable prices. At the side of the shop is the small nature reserve with a steep path up the mountain which is well worth taking for an excellent view from the loo and mountain hut at the top. You will need good crampons in the snow as it is pretty steep in places. You may well meet a local man who climbs this route every day in all weathers. It takes about half an hour to get to the top and a similar time coming down - which is when you will really need the crampons.

As a French, seeing all those goats and cheese roaming free in Lofoten I was curious to find some locally made cheese after trying this famous brown sugary cheese. When arriving at the farm, it already felt very authentic and the cheese... just delicious. We tried the mixed cow and goat milk and pure goat milk. This place is a must go if you are passing by.

A combination of a ribboat journey with Lyngen Adventure on the wonderful Lyngenfjord and a lunch and a tour inside the Aurora Spirit Bivrost gives the day the extra touch! When visiting the Lyngen municipality you should find time for this marvellous combination and the possibility to visit this distillery
