Anywhere Campers NarvikNarvikView map
Hiring a campervan in Narvik means setting off from an Arctic port tucked away at the head of the Ofotfjord, where the E6, Norway's north-south artery, meets the E10 coming down from the Swedish mountains. The Vesterålen islands and the Andøya tourist route are a day's drive away; to the south, the E6 leads to the Tysfjord, Saltstraumen and Bodø, and to the east, Abisko is just over an hour away. Our partner company Anywhere Campers hands over its vehicles here.
A compact town, Narvik is left behind within minutes, towards the islands to the north-west or the Swedish border to the east.

Road trip ideas
Road trips from Narvik
1 Vesterålen and the Andøya tourist route
- Narvik
- Evenes
- Sortland
- Stokmarknes
- Nyksund
- Andenes
- Bleik
- Stave
- Risøyhamn
- Narvik
Via the Hålogaland Bridge and then the E10, you reach Evenes and the Gullesfjord before heading up to Sortland, the "blue town" of Vesterålen. In Stokmarknes, birthplace of the Hurtigruten, a museum houses a former ship of the line; further north, a narrow road leads to Nyksund, a fishing village once abandoned and since repopulated.
On Andøya, you drive up to Andenes at the tip of the island, then the national tourist route runs back down the west coast between peat bogs and white beaches: Bleik, facing the puffin island of Bleiksøya, then Stave, as far as Risøyhamn.

2 Tysfjord, Hamarøy and Saltstraumen to Bodø
- Narvik
- Ballangen
- Skarberget
- Bognes
- Hamarøy
- Fauske
- Saltstraumen
- Bodø
Heading south, the E6 crosses the Skjomen on a suspension bridge, runs past Ballangen and then crosses the Tysfjord on the ferry from Skarberget to Bognes. At the far end of the fjord rises Stetind, a granite obelisk voted Norway's national mountain. In Hamarøy, a detour leads to the Hamsun Centre, devoted to the writer Knut Hamsun, in a building by the architect Steven Holl.
After Fauske, you follow the Skjerstadfjord to Saltstraumen, where the tide rushes through a narrow strait, forming powerful whirlpools, and then reach Bodø, another departure city of our partners.

3 Swedish Lapland: Abisko, Kiruna and Kebnekaise
- Narvik
- Bjørnfjell
- Riksgränsen
- Abisko
- Kiruna
- Jukkasjärvi
- Nikkaluokta
- Narvik
The E10 climbs above the Rombaksfjord alongside the Ofotbanen railway, up to the Bjørnfjell pass and the Swedish border. Riksgränsen, where people ski until June, comes before Lake Torneträsk and Abisko: its national park opens onto Lapporten, a U-shaped glacial valley, and a chairlift climbs Mount Nuolja.
In Kiruna, where the ore that the train carries down to the port of Narvik comes from, the road leads to Jukkasjärvi and its ice hotel, then to Nikkaluokta, at the end of the road, starting point of the trail to Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest peak.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Narvik?
Best time
June to August
June to August
highs 14 to 18 °C, lows 8 to 12 °C
The best time to leave from Narvik: the Bjørnfjell pass is clear, the Abisko trails are free of snow, the Vesterålen villages are lively and there are eleven to twelve hours of sunshine a day in June and July. August, with 181 mm of rain on average, is the wettest month of the summer: pack waterproof clothing and keep your stages flexible.
May and September
May, September
highs 8 to 13 °C, lows 3 to 7 °C
Two contrasting shoulder seasons. In May, ten hours of sunshine a day on average light up the greening shores of the Ofotfjord, while snow still lingers on the Bjørnfjell plateau and around Lake Torneträsk. September turns the birch trees of the Skjomen valley and Swedish Lapland red and gold, before the roads empty out.
October to December
October to December
highs -1 to 6 °C, lows -6 to 1 °C
The light fades fast: four hours of sunshine a day in October, just one in November, none in December, when the sun no longer rises above the horizon from early December to early January or so. Autumn rain turns to snow; check which campsites are still open, as many in Vesterålen close after the summer.
Winter
January to April
January to April
highs -2 to 3 °C, lows -8 to -3 °C
Snowy winter, the season for skiers on Narvikfjellet and at Riksgränsen. January remains dark and very wet, with 190 mm of precipitation, often falling as snow, but the sun returns quickly: two hours a day in February, nine in April. A heated vehicle, winter tyres and experience of driving on ice are then essential.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The Hålogaland Bridge heading north
Since 2018, the E6 has crossed the Rombaksfjord on the Hålogaland Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in Norway, at the northern exit of Narvik: it considerably shortens the drive to Bjerkvik, Evenes and Vesterålen. Exposed to the fjord wind, it may be subject to restrictions in storms, and a tall motorhome catches a lot of wind: check the road information before setting off.
The Tysfjord ferry on the E6
Towards Bodø, the E6 is interrupted by the Tysfjord: a ferry links Skarberget and Bognes, generally without booking, on a first-come, first-served basis. In July, the queue can hold motorhomes back for more than one crossing: set off early. The fare depends on the length of the vehicle; the crossing is often recorded by number-plate reading and then recharged by the rental company.
The E10 over Bjørnfjell in winter
Between Narvik and the Swedish border, the E10 climbs within a few dozen kilometres from the fjord shore to the Bjørnfjell plateau, exposed to drifting snow. In bad weather, the section may close or only open in convoy behind a snowplough. Check Statens vegvesen on the Norwegian side and Trafikverket on the Swedish side, and allow a day's margin on a one-way trip.
Nights on Andøya
In summer, the beach car parks at Bleik and the stops along the Andøya tourist route attract many motorhomes, and some now ban overnight stays, with signs to prove it. The campsites at Andenes and Stave are a safer option, with waste disposal and electricity; book them in July, when the boat trips from Andenes fill the island.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Narvik
Where can I pick up a campervan in Narvik?
Our partner company Anywhere Campers hands over its vehicles in Narvik, the only depot of our partners in the town. Your booking confirmation gives the exact handover address and the agreed time, along with the documents to bring. If you arrive by plane and would rather set off without going through Narvik, Evenes, right next to the regional airport, is also a departure city of our partners.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Narvik?
The 68 offers observed on 26 October 2026 from two rental companies, for 15-day rentals, show prices from €105 per day, mandatory fees included, for a campervan departing in October. January remains affordable, from €134 for a campervan and €139 for a low-profile motorhome, while July climbs to €254 for a campervan and €312 for a large motorhome. Enter your dates to see bookable prices.
How do I get to the Lofoten Islands from Narvik?
The most direct route is the E10 heading west: via Evenes and the Lofast road, you reach Svolvær without a ferry in about four hours. To approach the archipelago from the south, take the E6 down to Bodø and board the ferry to Moskenes, or catch the Svolvær ferry at Skutvik, on the Hamarøy peninsula. Combining both routes makes a big loop without retracing your steps.
Can I do a one-way trip from Narvik?
Yes, several departure cities of our partners surround Narvik: Evenes close by, Bodø to the south via the E6 and the Tysfjord, the Lofoten archipelago to the west, Bardufoss and Tromsø to the north. Such a return is only possible if the rental company accepts it: the search shows it as soon as you enter the drop-off city, and the displayed price then includes any one-way fee.
Can I drive to Sweden with a campervan hired in Narvik?
The border is only about forty kilometres away along the E10, and Abisko or Kiruna tempt many travellers. Before crossing the border, make sure in the offer that the rental company allows Sweden and that the insurance covers it. On the way back, the Bjørnfjell crossing is a Norwegian customs checkpoint, which applies its own allowances for alcohol, tobacco and food.
Which motorhomes can I hire in Narvik?
The offers observed for departures from Narvik range from campervans to large motorhomes. They include the Adria Matrix M670SL, with five seats and five berths, available in manual and automatic versions, the Carado T-447 for four people, and the Sunlight A70, an automatic over-cab motorhome with six seats and six berths, designed for large families.

Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!

The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in all, very positive and after our first motorhome adventure being such a joy, we will do this again next year(s), and will check out Cooldrive/Nomad first for options and prices.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Narvik
How do I get to Narvik from Evenes airport?
Harstad/Narvik Airport, at Evenes, is about 75 km from Narvik via the E10 and the Hålogaland Bridge, a little over an hour's drive. An airport coach links the airport with central Narvik; check its timetable before booking a late flight. Give Anywhere Campers your flight number: the key handover can then be matched to your actual arrival.
Can I get to Narvik by train?
Yes, but only from Sweden: no line connects Narvik to the rest of the Norwegian rail network. The Ofotbanen, completed in the early 20th century for the ore of Kiruna, also carries passenger trains from Kiruna, Luleå and Stockholm via Abisko. Its descent above the Rombaksfjord makes for a spectacular arrival before you take the wheel.
Is mileage unlimited when departing from Narvik?
Yes: every offer observed for departures from Narvik in our October 2026 searches included unlimited mileage. This is valuable in a region where a loop through Vesterålen or a return trip to Swedish Lapland quickly exceeds 500 km. As conditions may vary with the rental length and the vehicle, check them on each offer before booking.
What excess should I expect in case of damage?
In the offers observed in Narvik, the median excess reaches €1,500: the sum the rental company can claim from you after an incident, under its conditions. On the narrow roads to Nyksund or on Andøya, in the tight lanes of the Tysfjord ferry or facing reindeer on the plateau, an excess reduction option may be worth its price: compare it in the offer details.
When can I see the midnight sun and the northern lights in Narvik?
The midnight sun shines from late May to around mid-July, but the mountains surrounding the town often hide it: take the cable car up Narvikfjellet or head for a north-facing coast in Vesterålen. The northern lights can be watched for from September to March, under clear skies; the Abisko plateau, often drier than the coast, offers better chances.
What is there to see in Narvik before hitting the road?
The Narvik War Museum recounts the fighting of April to June 1940, when the Allies and the Norwegian army contested the port with German troops. The Narvikfjellet cable car offers a bird's-eye view of the Ofotfjord and the ore quays, and the Rallarvegen, the old navvies' road built for the railway, can be walked or cycled towards Sweden.
When should I book a campervan in Narvik?
The fleet available in Narvik is small: for a departure between late June and mid-August, book from the previous winter, especially the six-berth family over-cab models, which are few. Outside summer, two to four weeks' notice is usually enough, except around Christmas and the February holidays. A one-way trip to Bodø or the Lofoten Islands always needs earlier planning.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Narvik
Narvik owes its existence to its port, ice-free all year round thanks to the Gulf Stream, where the Ofotbanen railway unloads Swedish iron ore. For a motorhome trip, the town has the advantage of location: the E6 meets the E10 here, so Vesterålen, the Lofoten Islands, the Tysfjord, Saltstraumen and Swedish Lapland can all be reached without crossing a large city.
Anywhere Campers is our partner company here, and the offers observed for departures from the town range from campervans to family over-cab motorhomes, with prices from €105 per day in October 2026. And since our partners also depart from Evenes, Bodø, the Lofoten Islands, Bardufoss and Tromsø, the trip can end somewhere other than where it began. Summer, from June to August, brings the easiest conditions, with highs of 14 to 18 °C for touring fjords, islands and plateaus.
