Princess Ingrid Alexandra visited Karasjok and Kirkenes in order to get to know Finnmark better. On Tuesday, 27 January 2026, the Princess visited Kirkenes in the municipality of Sør-Varanger, which borders both Finland and Russia. The visit began at Kirkenes School, where the Princess was given a guided tour by representatives of the student council from both the primary and lower secondary levels.
Tana Upper Secondary School has its own dog sledding programme, and the Princess joined teachers, students and dogs on a trip to Grensefjellet. The departure took place from Førstevatn, near the Varanger Museum, and followed parts of the route of the Finnmarksløpet. At Grensefjellet, with views towards the border between Norway and Russia, the Princess met with the police and a border patrol from the Armed Forces.
The visit to Kirkenes concluded at the Barents Secretariat, where the Princess received a briefing from the mayor and the Barents Secretariat on the situation in the north, and met representatives from the business sector, cultural life and the voluntary sector in Kirkenes.










We are very proud of our princess!
