Kiruna Day Tour to Narvik Norway

As we cross the border into Norway, the landscape shifts dramatically from the frozen tundra into a world of high, jagged peaks and deep, sapphire-blue fjords. The absolute highlight of the trip is the Narvik Fjord (Ofotfjorden), a breathtaking body of water stretching over 70 kilometers and surrounded by towering cliffs that plunge directly into the sea. This fjord is not only a natural wonder but also a site of immense historical importance; its deep, ice-free waters were the stage for major naval battles during World War II, a history still visible in the shipwrecks resting beneath the surface.

We visit several carefully selected viewpoints, giving you plenty of opportunities to photograph the stunning transition from the vast Swedish tundra to the rugged Norwegian coastline. You’ll witness how the flora and climate change as the Atlantic’s warmer currents meet the Arctic mountains.

Exploring Narvik City and the Fjords

Beyond the natural scenery, you’ll have time to explore the charming city of Narvik. Known as the “Iron Ore Port,” the city was built specifically to export the iron from the Kiruna mines, making it a vital link between Sweden and the rest of the world. You can visit the modern War Museum to learn about the city’s resilient past or simply enjoy the unique atmosphere of a town nestled between the mountains and the ocean. This tour is all about relaxing and enjoying the scenic stops along the E10, widely considered one of the most beautiful roads in the Arctic, offering a perfect blend of industrial history and wild, untouched nature.
