Banak Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Lakselv-Banak airport is 1.5-2 km from the village, a handful of minutes on foot with light luggage or a short taxi ride: Lakselv is a small service town along the Porsangerfjord, with few properties but all close to one another. There are no real local alternatives: the choice is between the village hotel and the motel on the fjord, a little further out.

Lakselv

City centre · 1.5-2 km from the airport, 5 minutes by taxi or 15-20 on foot; the Lakselv Hotel is in the village, the Fjordutsikten about 1.3 km further east, on the fjord.

Pros

Minimal distances: the whole village can be explored on foot in a few minutes
The Fjordutsikten has views over the Porsangerfjord and is a cheaper option

Cons

Very few restaurants outside the hotels themselves: the evening choice is limited
