Norwegian to launch new northern lights and ski route next winter
A new flight next winter will operate from Gatwick to a northern Norway destination that will host the 2029 Alpine ski world championships.
Norwegian Air Shuttle will fly to Harsted-Narvik airport in Evenes, a region where mountains meet the sea and which offers northern lights viewing opportunities.
Weekly departures will operate on Saturday from 2 November, with flights departing Gatwick at 12.15 and taking three hours 15 minutes. Inbound flights from Norway depart at 08.40.
“Narvik was just selected as the host city for the FIS Alpine World Cup Ski Championships in 2029, said Magnus Thome Maursund, Norwegian’s chief commercial officer.
“Narvik sits inside the Arctic circle and offers a unique skiing experience with amazing vistas of fjords, and slopes to suit the demands of all skiers.”
The region also houses a Polar Park, with bears, wolves and lynx, and offers night-time snowshoeing tours to view the Aurora Borealis.
