Today you will move to the last sky resort of the trip: Narvik. This sky resort is located far away in the Polar Artic Circle, nearby the glaciers and Cape North.

DAY THIRTEEN
We knew that you prefear sky resorts, but we guessed that a visit to the country would not be complete without an essential tourist and beautiful site. Therefore, before ending the trip, a visit to North Cape, which is nearby Narvik Resort, is included. Since the site does not require an entire day, you accomodation at night will still be in the resort. Nevertheless, your day will be spend a bit far away.
The tourist bus will pick you up from the station at 2:00 PM, and you will be reaching North Cape at around 3:20 PM. We planed the visit at these hours to give you the chance of seeing the sunset in this famous site, and perhaps, if you come in the right period, to see the polar lights. Night comes to Norway very soon, so sunset is usually betwen 4:00 and 7:00 PM. North Cape is the northermost point in Europe, and the view of the sunset from its cliff is very famous and beautiful. When you stand at North Cape, nothing else apart from the Svalbard Islands separates you from the North Pole. Since it is the northermost point of the continent, polar lights in the sky are seen here frequently, so we hope you get the chance of their view.
