The North Cape plateau
At the end of the Earth, the North Cape plateau rises a steep 307 meters straight up from the Arctic Ocean. You are standing on the European Continent’s most northerly point, looking out across a horizon so long that you see the Earth curve. People come here from all over the world to experience being so far north. The iconic globe has become the symbol of the North Cape and is also a popular photo stop.
On the North Cape is also the North Cape Hall, partly built into the mountain cliff, where you will find a restaurant with endless views, a souvenir shop in the mountain wall, a chapel and a Thai museum. A 180-degree wide-screen film screening of the North Cape throughout the four seasons is a must-see.
The excursion to the North Cape also takes you through a wide, barren landscape with rocks and hardy, low-growing vegetation. In summer, you can see reindeer herds on the plateau. In winter, the snowploughs' battles against the snow can be an equally impressive sight.

Travel by Dog Power – the sustainable way. Our Alaskan huskies need neither fuel nor incentive -they live to run. Huskies are a hardy breed, bred for both surviving harsh arctic climates, and running over long distances. And they love it! Our huskies may seem fierce at first, but once you make the bond, you will experience the warmth of these fantastic animals. That is why we also have an open dog yard where our guests can get to know all our dogs and puppies. Prepare to cuddle! The tours are by husky sled, driven by our experienced musher., guests as passengers
