Fly direct to Bodø & Salten, Northern Norway

Fly direct from Munich, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Stockholm or Helsinki and experience the Arctic summer.

Summer in Arctic Norway

From late May into June, summer slowly arrives above the Arctic Circle. The days grow longer, nature turns vibrant green, and the first midnight sun nights appear.

Midnight sun

In Bodø & Salten, the best summer moments often happen long after the clock says bedtime. From late May through the middle of July, the midnight sun sets a special mood in Bodø & Salten.

It’s a magical time when the sun barely dips below the horizon and evening never fully arrives. Locals go hiking late at night, friends gather by the water, and the landscape glows in warm golden light.

Outdoor Adventures is a MUST

The landscapes around Bodø offer endless possibilities for outdoor adventures.

Go rafting in the world’s strongest maelstrom, golf under the midnight sun, or explore nearby islands scattered across the Norwegian Sea.

Whether you’re seeking adventure or peaceful moments in nature, the Arctic summer invites you outside.
