Meet Lebesby – challenging but attractive place to live

Lebesby is located in the north of Norway and is home to a varied natural environment, tough weather conditions and beautiful scenery. With precarious weather conditions in winter, unreliable infrastructure for people, communications, and a small population, some people leave the area. But some people also stay or move in.

What makes living in a municipality so far to the north viable and attractive? The freedom to roam, high levels of trust and the connection to nature.
