Bjørnfjell
A high mountain plateau on the Norway–Sweden border, known for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in winter. It also has a memorial to the 1940 campaign.
Bjørnfjell is a border plateau about 40 km east of Narvik, at an altitude of roughly 500–600 metres. Lakes and bare rock alternate across an open landscape with few trees. Snow lies deep in winter, making it the main area for snowmobiling, dog sledding and cross-country skiing from Narvik. Its clear winter nights, far from city lights, are good for viewing the northern lights. In summer, it is the starting point of the Rallarveien hike. Near the station stands a memorial to the 1940 mountain battle. It can be reached by Ofoten Line train or by car along the E10 road.
