An old farm by Langfjordvatnet in Pasvikdalen, with no road and no neighbors. Stay in an old or converted barn, wash up in a wood-fired sauna and watch for the northern lights right outside your door. For 2–11 guests.

Namdalen Wilderness Lodge is an old farm by Langfjordvatnet in Pasvikdalen, about 30 minutes from Kirkenes. There is no road to the farm. In summer we take you across the water by boat, and in winter by snowmobile and sled over the ice.

Around the farm there is pine forest, silence and no light pollution. This is a real Norwegian cabin, not a hotel: warm and comfortable, but simple. The water comes from a well, and you wash yourself in the wood-fired sauna, as is done in many cabins in Norway.

Couples stay in the gammen, a small turf hut built into the ground, with a wood stove and space for two. The toilet is outside, a short distance away. Larger groups stay in the converted barn, with four heated bedrooms for up to 9 people, a living room and an indoor toilet.

Meals are served in the old chicken coop, which is now a dining room with underfloor heating. The farmhouse has a fully equipped kitchen where you can cook your own food. All buildings are heated, and the three outhouses have both light and heat.

You only rent the accommodation, much like a holiday home. Meals, sauna and guided activities can be added on request. In winter, for example, it can be dog sledding, snowshoeing, ice fishing and northern lights tours, and in summer hiking, fishing, swimming and berry and mushroom picking.

From late August to early April, the nights are dark, and you can look for the Northern Lights right outside your door. Nearby is Øvre Pasvik National Park, Norway's first certified Dark Sky Park. From mid-May to late July, there is the midnight sun.

Would you rather come to Namdalen by dog ​​sled? With the accommodation package "Husky, Sauna & Northern Lights" you drive your own dog sled about 15 km from the dog farm in Pasvikdalen to the cabin, with lunch by the campfire along the way. Your luggage will be transported separately.

In the evening we have dinner by the fire or in the old chicken coop while the sauna is heating up. After a night on the farm you will have breakfast before we drive you back to Kirkenes. The package fits in with the timetables of Hurtigruten and Havila. It can be booked from mid-December to mid-April for 2–5 people.

At Namdalen Wilderness Lodge, nature starts right outside your door. You can spend your days relaxing on the farm, or add guided activities that suit you and the season.

In winter you can go dog sledding, snowshoeing through the pine forest, ice fishing on the lake or going on a Northern Lights tour. In summer and autumn there are hikes in the forest and on the plains, fishing and swimming in the lake and berry and mushroom picking around the farm.

All activities are guided by us, with experience from outdoor life and first aid and good knowledge of the area. Tell us what your group wants, and we will put together the stay accordingly.
