General presentation
Narvik et Ofoten
Ore Railway, Battles of 1940 and Arctic Fjords give Narvik a powerful history.
Narvik War Museum, Ofoten Line and Narvikfjellet give the most telling landmarks of Narvik and Ofoten. Together, they form a destination where urban life, the coastline, mountain reliefs and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée de la Guerre de Narvik
The museum tells the naval and land battles of 1940 around the port of ore, giving a large place to civilians and prisoners of war.
Place indismissible
Ligne d'Ofoten
The Ofoten line still transports Swedish ore to the free port of ice Narvik; the passenger train runs along fjord, waterfalls and mountains to the border.
Place indismissible
Narvikfjellet
The cable car Narvikfjellet climbs directly from the city to a balcony on the Ofotfjord; in winter, the slopes give the rare impression of skiing to the sea.
