Getting here

Is it safe to drive in Finnmark in winter?

Last updated: 8 October 2026

Short answer

It is fine with good planning, but snow, ice and the polar night mean lower speeds, and in bad weather the roads may have convoy driving or be closed. Watch out for reindeer on the road all year round, and check the road reports from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration before you drive. See Getting here.
