Glad you’re enjoying your visit!

The tourism industry here is relatively active all year long. Some are of course seasonal workers and will perhaps go to another country in the winter, but there’s also many tourists here during winter. Some things you can’t really experience during summer, for example is it near impossible to see the northern lights during summer because of the light nights, so northern lights tours are very popular in the winter when it’s dark. Skiing, snowboarding and dog sledding are other popular winter activities, while many other may have activity around the year, like whale safaris etc.

We can’t close down large parts of society for winter (else we’d be closed a lot!), so it’s important to diversify and take advantage of the different seasons. Hiking tourists in the summer turns into skiing tourists in the winter!
