Some tips

by Gili_S

If you planning hiking (in summer), not too heavy staff, distances are long it is nice to feel light as possible. You usually do not need to carry water with you. Good shoes is a must, good water proof or water resistant jacket is needed in the summer, it is raining almost every day here. At night it can get very cold, so be prepared. In the local stores and gas station you can buy mosquitoes repellent etc. You will surely need it in the summer. Do I need to mention anything? Take whatever you got, and remember, it can be very wet. Tents, good sleeping bags and the usual stuff. Camping is very popular here and there are lots of sites to stay over.

Arctic conditions

by Rusket

Good shoes and warm clothing is an excellent tip if you visit Finnmark in spring, summer or autumn. But should you want to explore Finnmark during the winter, especially inland, you must be prepared for arctic conditions, as temperatures can actually drop down to -50 C, -40C is not uncommon. Tour operators like the one linked below or this one: Nordic Safariwill often provide you with necessary equipment. Summer: Insect repellant!
