An Alpine Destination in the Arctic
Narvik is built between the mountains and the fjord. Here, skiing is not located outside the city but is a natural part of it. In just a few minutes, you can travel from the city centre to the mountains and experience one of the world's most spectacular alpine landscapes.
For generations, Narvikfjellet has been the setting for unforgettable skiing experiences. With fjords on one side and towering mountains on the other, the area offers a combination of natural beauty, snow conditions and terrain that few other destinations can match. It has hosted World Cup races, national championships and the Junior World Championships, before Narvik was awarded the 2029 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.
Alpine skiing holds a unique place in Narvik’s identity. For generations, local athletes, volunteers and enthusiasts have fostered a strong skiing community and organised competitions at the highest level. This history is an important part of why Narvik is now considered one of the Nordic region’s most exciting alpine skiing destinations.

Ski touring and randonnée
The Narvik region is surrounded by mountains that attract skiers from all over the world. Here, you'll find everything from accessible day trips to challenging alpine adventures.
Freeriding in Arctic surroundings
Narvik is known for its combination of mountains and sea. Few places can offer such spectacular contrasts between snow-covered mountainsides and deep fjords.
Northern Lights over fjords and mountains
When darkness descends over the Arctic, the winter sky offers one of nature’s most spectacular displays. From the mountainsides around Narvik, you can watch the northern lights dance above the fjord and snow-covered peaks. The combination of an Arctic location, dramatic landscapes, and limited light pollution makes the region a popular destination for experiencing the northern lights.
