Frequently asked questions

Q. Why is Berlevåg known for its wind?

Its exposed position on the Varanger Peninsula makes it one of the windiest areas in Norway, a fact that also made the town famous thanks to a well-known Norwegian film about its local marching band.

Q. What can you see near Berlevåg?

Seabird colonies in the area's nature reserves, along with remote Arctic landscapes rarely visited by international tourism.

Q. Is it worth booking a taxi in advance?

Yes, strongly recommended, given how remote the area is and the limited number of operators available.

Q. How many flights a day connect Berlevåg to the rest of Norway?

Very few, generally one or two a day to Vadsø and Kirkenes as part of Finnmark's regional network: a delay or cancellation can mean a whole day's wait for the next flight.
