To all current Arctic Campers in Northern Norway,
As you may have noticed by now, we are experiencing extreme weather conditions. A polar low-pressure system is bringing heavy snowfall and strong winds, making driving impossible. Please park your vehicle where you are and wait until morning.
Life in the Arctic can be tough as a camper. If you’re not used to driving on ice and snow, check out our 4x4 camper vans for better control in winter conditions. Plus, recovery is much easier if the van goes off-road. Explore the Arctic and start your adventure! ✨❄️🚐
Tomorrow, the sun will be back in Tromsø (January 21). It’s always a very special day for us. Fifty days without it ☀️ is quite a long time. Even though the polar night has its own unique magic, winter in Northern Norway with the sun is truly special and beautiful! ☃️⛷️❄️
Start on an unforgettable adventure through Norway’s polar regions with our winter-ready camper van. Equipped with a 4kWh diesel heater, indoor kitchen, 2 extra batteries, and 4-wheel drive, it’s designed to keep you warm and mobile in even the harshest Arctic conditions.
To all the hardy Arctic campers heading toward the North Cape: please be aware that a strong gale is approaching from the west, with gusts reaching up to 37 m/s. The peak is expected during daytime tomorrow. Stay safe!

Northern Lights Tromvik Norway
Tromvik, Norway: The coming weeks promise to be filled with intense Northern Lights activity. During the day, drive your camper van to areas with the best evening weather forecast and enjoy the spectacular Aurora show all night long.
We are now entering the “mørketid” (polar night) in Northern Norway. The sun won’t rise at all until the middle of January. It’s the perfect time for a good cup of coffee to stay awake and some cozy music from the fabulous radio station: Arctic Outpost Radio, broadcasting from Svalbard. 📻 ☕ 🇳🇴
In 2025, we will proudly continue our support for the Leave No Trace organization, as we have for the past three years. Before our guests pick up their camper van, we educate them on the Leave No Trace principles, ensuring that Norway’s nature is as minimally impacted by tourism as possible.

Aurora season is in full swing - we got a weather warning for the coming 4 days. If you are visiting Lofoten (Norway) or the Bodø area, be aware of strong winds. Make sure you park the car always towards the wind to avoid damages. Stay safe and have a nice trip!
One of the most powerful solar storms in years means that nearly all of Norway will be able to see the Northern Lights in the next 48 hours. Northern Norway seems to have the best weather with a clear sky!
For the first time, Norway has used a semi electric truck with 1,000 kWh battery capacity to clear heavy snow on challenging mountain passes.
ID. Buzz camper van in Norway
Last year we started with an EV camper fleet of 10 VW ID. Buzz. After a survey: 80% of our rental guests said they want to try an EV before they buy one for themselves. Never thought that we can help indirectly to reduce emissions on a long term. 🌿
