We travel through spectacular scenery en route to Norway's third-largest city, Trondheim. A short orientation walk shows you the Nidaros cathedral and the Old Town Bridge.
Today, we enjoy Norway's dramatic scenery - glaciers, snow-covered peaks and lush green landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for our leisurely drive north past the impressive Laksfoss Falls towards the Arctic Circle and Mo i Rana, located just 80km south of its border.

Travel through expansive landscapes across the border of Finland and to the popular winter-sports resorts of Saariselkä.

Tell Santa how good you've been this year in his home town of Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland.
