Fauske

The terrain of Fauske ranges from sheltered shores of Skjerstadfjorden in the west to high mountain country near the Swedish border in the east, giving the municipality a distinctly varied Arctic character. The town of Fauske lies in Salten, north of the Arctic Circle, and has long served as a local transport and service centre. Its identity is closely linked to marble quarrying and to Sulitjelma, where copper mining shaped a remote mountain community for more than a century. Fjord water, forested slopes and upland valleys mark the route between the coast and the interior. Explore further places through webcams positioned throughout Fauske Municipality.
