If you're the kind of traveler who prefers life's gentler pursuits while holidaying, Lakselv offers great shore fishing and bird watching. Active travelers in search of an adrenaline rush should max-out their heart rates by signing up for a horse riding or mountain climbing adventure.

Taking the time to get your tongue around a few common Norwegian words and phrases is one of the nicest compliments you can pay to a region's people. "Kvar kjem du frå?" is a good phrase to know. In English, it means "Where are you from?" And also "Kva heiter du?", which translates as "What's your name?"

At the end of your adventure in Lakselv, no doubt you'll bid this region a teary "Ha det bra" Rest assured, however, you'll be leaving with memories and momentos that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
