What’s it like to spend winter in Norway? Come with Alice Ford to herd reindeer, visit the Sami people, and find the northern lights.

Winter in Norway: A Complete Visitor’s Guide

Winter in Norway is truly breathtaking. From the polar night—when the moon rules the sky and sun refuses to rise for months—to the dancing northern lights, the unusual phenomena are only part of what make it so incredible to visit Norway during the winter months.

You can expect beautiful winter weather with plenty of soft, white snow, unique accommodations options (like staying in an igloo), and friendly people when you take a winter trip in Norway. Come along with me as I adventure through the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter, checking off some amazing experiences like herding reindeer, spending nights and days among the Sami people, and looking for those iconic northern lights. My winter in Norway was an experience I’ll never forget, and I can’t wait to show you the incredible things I saw on my trip!
