CLIMATE IN FINNMARK NORWEGIAN LAPLAND 


Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the harbours along the coast of Finnmark Norwegian Lapland do not freeze over and the area enjoys mostly mild winters.

There is a lot of snowfall in the winter, but many parts of this region are surrounded by mountains which provide shelter from the winds and cold from the sea. In the inland areas, near the Finnish border, it can get extremely cold in the winter, while the summers are warm and dry.

The weather and temperatures can change quickly throughout the entire region. Bring good footwear and warm clothes. If you take part in any winter activities, warm clothing and footwear will be included in the price you pay.
