Join an exciting and comfortable Northern Lights hunt by minibus! The Northern Lights forecast will lead the chase, maybe we find the amazing Lady Aurora in Norway, maybe Sweden, or maybe even in Finland? When we chase Lady Aurora we will see the amazing Arctic wilderness. When we se the Aurora we stop. Maybe we make a bonfire. We enjoy some local Northern Lights wraps and some warm Toddy!

We are a northern lights and photography tour provider based in Narvik. Our guided Aurora Chase excursion leaves at 19:00 from the Scandic Hotel, in the city center of Narvik. Come visit us from 16:00, every single evening, from December to March!

In addition to large areas of groomed trails and pists, you can also enjoy world class off-piste skiing, whereas Narvikfjellet has one of Scandinavia 's largest vertical drops and very good conditions for off-piste skiing. The resort is also suitable for families and beginners, who can take advantage of a separate children's lift and a customized childrens area. The Alpine skiing almost starts "downtown" ca. 200 meters above sea level, and the ski lifts take you up to 1006 m during 10-15 minutes. The spectacular view from the top of Narvikfjellet is unique, as the pists almost ends in the fjord. Narvikfjellet have a cable car that runs parallel to the 3 T- lifts. Both the cable car and the lifts takes you up to The Upper Mountain Lift Station 656 m. The chairlift takes you to the top of the ski area as the lift ends at 1006 m. From there you can walk another 300 meters to Tredjetoppen (third peek), the starting point for our world-class off-piste skiing!

We now have rigged the boat for winter's adventures. Join us for a northern lights search at sea with this late evening wintertime cruise from Narvik harbour. Sailing on fjord with auroras overhead, and with snowy mountains and the city skyline in the background, is something you won’t forget.

Experience the Arctic summer with its balmy weather, refreshing air, crystal clear water and surroundings colored by the late midnight sun. Indulge in nature from sea or shore, in a canoe or classic motorboat. Take part in cooking your own catch of the day or sit back and relax while being served at the cabin.

I live in Narvik and spend most of my time outdoors in the nature, hiking, skiing, kayaking, climbing etc. I love to share this wonderful experiences with people so I started Narvik Aktiv that offers authentic tours for everyone.

My aim and wishes are to give you just the perfect Arctic experience, let you feel the elements close, show you the best!
