Leaving Bug\u00f8ynes behind, our journey continued further north along icy roads and windswept fjords. The destination was clear: North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe that can be reached by motorhome.<\/p>\n

Itinerary of the third stage of the journey<\/figcaption><\/div>

Towards the NordKapp through ice and wind<\/h5>\n

After a stop in Varangerbotn, we decided not to follow the beaten track, but to cross a snow-covered plateau, a surreal landscape where the white faded into the horizon. Here, the wind was very strong and lifted snow and ice onto the asphalt, creating treacherous slabs. Without studded tyres, it would have been impossible to advance.<\/p>\n

Despite the gusts of wind, the Wingamm Oasis 610GL once again proved to be a reliable travelling companion, maintaining perfect stability even on the most challenging stretches. We took advantage of a clear night to stop and admire one of the Great North's most incredible sights: an intense Northern Lights, which danced above us as the motorhome became our perfect refuge in the heart of the Arctic.<\/p>\n

Arrival at the NordKapp<\/h5>\n

Finally, after days of travelling, we arrived at the North Cape. The navigator took us to the famous iron sphere, the most iconic and photographed point, but we wanted something more. So we decided to go even further, to the \u2018real\u2019 North Cape, an even more remote and wild promontory, which can only be reached by a challenging trek on foot.<\/p>\n

We left the camper van and set off. Three hours on the outward journey, three hours on the return, crossing an incredible landscape of snow, wind and absolute silence. Here, in total solitude, we spent the night in a tent, a unique experience that is almost impossible to do in winter because of the prohibitive weather. But we found the perfect window: little wind and enough compact snow to move around safely.<\/p>\n

And then, the most astonishing moment: orcas and whales offshore, under a clear Arctic sky. An image that will forever remain etched in our memory.<\/p>\n
