Rypefjord

Welcome to Rypefjord! This small idyllic suburb of the Finnmark metropolis Hammerfest boasts ancient history, enterprising people and an active business community who have been very involved in the northern Norwegian oil adventure. Humans had already settled here in the Stone Age, and they lived off what nature had to offer. And that was a lot! There were fish, seals, birds, game, plants, and berries virtually outside the front door, or should we say outside the ‘gammene’ which were the first homes in Rypefjord belonging to the Sami people. Today, outdoor enthusiasts flock to this beautiful place in search of exciting experiences, and there are good opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking and skiing. Both fjord and mountain offer spectacular yet affordable experiences, for both young and old.
