    Join Us for an Arctic Adventure on Finnmarksvidda, Norway!
    We are looking for 1–2 reliable, flexible, and versatile volunteers to join us at our mountain lodge on the stunning Finnmarksvidda in Northern Norway.

    Life at a remote mountain lodge is never boring! No two days are the same, and your tasks will vary depending on the season and what needs to be done. Out here, every day brings a new adventure!


    Requirements:

    -Right to Stay and Participate in Norway (Schengen): You must have the legal right to stay in Norway and participate in the volunteer arrangement. A Schengen visa or passport alone does not automatically grant the right to work or volunteer in Norway.

    -Snowmobile Driving Licence (a Big Plus): A valid snowmobile driving licence is a great advantage.

    -Dietary Considerations: Due to our remote location and the traditional Arctic cuisine we serve, which includes a lot of meat and fish, this opportunity is unfortunately not suitable for vegans.

    If you love the great outdoors, enjoy meeting people from different cultures, and want to experience a true Arctic adventure, we would love to hear from you!

    Interested? Get in touch and tell us a little about yourself!
