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.

Stetind – Norway’s national mountain Stetind in Tysfjord is a majestic natural landmark with its extremely characteristic shape in the beautiful North Norwegian fjord landscape. With a height of 1392 m directly from the fjord, Norway’s national mountain, also called “God’s anvil”, juts out like an obelisk in the mountain wilds. You may go on family-friendly walks to spots in the “lower” parts of the mountain – or complete the lofty ascent accompanied by a local guide. Stetind also offers “stern pleasures” for experienced mountain climbers.

Mount Ronvik. From the top of Mount Ronvik, there is a fine view of the mountainous Lofoten islands and the island of Landegode to the north, the Borvasstindene mountains to the south, as well as the town of Bodo. 164 m above sea level. Midnight sun: 2 June – 10 July. 3 km from Bodo. Driveable road. Bus no. 14 and 17 take you halfway to Mount Ronvik. Top 13. The bar of Radisson Blu Hotel Bodo offers a fine view of the Bodo peninsula, Landegode and the Borvasstindene mountains. The Tower at the Norwegian Aviation Museum. From the top of the old control tower at the Norwegian Aviation Museum you have a panorama view of much of the Bodo peninsula.
In my visits to Bodø I always run up to Keiservarden. Excellent view of city and nature around. Can choose to access by gravel or forrest/sherpa Trail. Easy access to further mountaina from here. Highly recommended.

Went by bus to Lyngen and was surprise that the boat ferry was free, luckily that day got a few hours of cream sky, and the pictures although portray the landscape the real view is better
