Narvik, Norway

Panoramic Skjomen

Sweeping Arctic Vistas Gaze upon the stunning sights of Skjomen during a panoramic drive to see some of its most dramatic landscapes. Meet your guide, board your motor coach and set off to trace the scenic coastline of the vast Ofotfjord, admiring its impressive mountains. The calm waters of the fjord, framed by lush green slopes, were the location for many of the naval conflicts during the Battles of Narvik in World War II; some of the sunken ships remain on its seabed. Next, turn into Skjomen, an inlet that hosts towering mountains—reaching up to 5,600 feet—and the imposing Frostisen glacier; popular with skiers and hikers, it is renowned for its beautiful yet challenging environment. Drive up to Reinneset, an outlook that allows for a breathtaking view of the sweeping landscapes that surround you. After time for photos, reboard your coach and return to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
