Narvik

The first large battlle of WWII was fought in Narvik. The modern city boasts 1500 metre high mountains rising directly from the fjord, magnificent skiing and a breathtaking railway to Sweden.

Narvik was the location of a large battle in World War Two

In spring 1940, Norwegian, British, French and Polish forces therefore fought against Nazi Germany for two months in one of WWII’s largest initial battles.
