About the Resort
About Narvik
Narvikfjellet is a truly unique ski destination located deep within the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway. Rising directly from the urban center of Narvik, the mountain offers one of Scandinavia's largest lift-served vertical drops. The true magic of Narvik lies in its setting—skiers carve down the slopes while looking out over the sprawling, ice-free Ofotfjord and surrounding jagged snow-capped peaks.
The Resort
While it features a dedicated family area and groomed runs, Narvik's global reputation is built on its world-class freeride terrain. The mountain serves as a rugged playground for advanced skiers and snowboarders seeking steep, deep off-piste bowls and legendary hike-to terrain like the famous Tredjetoppen (The Third Peak). The contrast of alpine skiing right into an industrial coastal town gives the resort an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world.
Because of its extreme northern latitude, the ski season runs late, often well into May. Visitors during the darker mid-winter months might catch the mesmerizing Northern Lights dancing above the slopes, while late-season skiers can enjoy the surreal experience of spring skiing under the glow of the Midnight Sun.
On the Mountain
The lift-served terrain offers winding, scenic groomers that cater well to intermediates, but Narvik truly shines beyond the boundary ropes. Expert skiers can hike from the top lift station to access vast, unpatrolled backcountry bowls and steep chutes that funnel directly back toward the fjord.
Northern Norway
Located well above the Arctic Circle, this region is famous for dramatic coastal mountains plunging into fjords, and prime conditions for both the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun.
