Leadership and corporate event in Northern Norway

Spring is a time when many companies organize start-up meetings, new employee meetings or kick off trips for their employees. Just 3 hours from the pulsating life in Oslo, there is an old mining town with one of the largest unspoiled wilderness areas we have in Norway.

At Jakobsbakken we have the opportunity to tailor the event to your wishes. Do you want to rent the apartments and arrange the rest yourself or have a host who can serve food experiences consisting of local food from Salten, we will arrange it.

Northern Norway’s best cross-country trail

In Sulisfjellet there are beautiful scenery, cross country skiing trails and according to Martin Johnsrud Sundby conditions that match what the national team meets in the World Cup. Starting from Jakobsbakken, you can ski for about 30 km without skiing the same trails twice. The trail from Jakobsbakken goes to Sagmo, one of several places in Sulitjelma where there were mines in the 20th century, and on to Tjorvi which is close to Junkerdal National Park. The trail profile is hilly and you walk both on highs with beautiful views of the Sulitjelma massif, where the mountains extend up to 2000 meters above sea level and along idyllic rivers.
