Do

• Drive 44 km east from Fauske to the village of Sulitjelma, where high mountains (Suliskongen reaches almost 2,000 m) and two large glaciers (Sulitjelmaisen and Blåmansisen - Norways 5.largest) are within hiking range. Sulitjelma has lodging opportunities, and there is also Jakobsbakken a little further, which is an excellent base for cross country skiing in winter and early spring, and mountain hiking from July to late September.
