There is the guided excursion to the Barents Sea or the one to Grense Jakobselv next to the border guard towers on the border between Norway and Russia and a visit to the chapel of King Oscar II. Another opportunity for a winter snowmobile safari is the one that reaches the town of Neiden, where you can visit the chapel of St. Georg (the smallest Russian Orthodox chapel in Norway) and the Skoltefossen waterfall. Nothing seems to be lacking here.
