Honningsvåg Getting to Honningsvåg in winter by car
Posted: Fri January 5, 2007 09:14 PM UTC
Hello. I want to ask how to get to Honningsvåg by car in winter? I can see that the main road E69 is closed in winter but still in Mageroya lives more than 3500 people and tourists visit Nordkapp by car and bus... how do they get there?

What that ''closed road'' really means? Is road totalli impassable and blocked or still cleaned in some extent?
How much is the fine for driving on closed road?

In information provided there was said that E69 is closed but can anybody say from where... aready from Russenes?

Thank you
LordVampire

it say on the website that Ev 69 SKARSVÅG - NORDKAPP is vinterclosed
if its closed its closed and its for a reason, people who has entered a closed road filled with snow, since its not open, has gotten stuck and died. i would do it.

we organise scandinavion round trip from denmark via sweden to nordkapp and return through norway and sweden again.
-you need studs in your tires otherwise you will slide from the road since the roads are iced all over,
-then, you can contact the nordkapp reiseliv to inform about the daily convoy which is travelling from the e69 exit of the road to skarsvag to the nordkapp.
-if weather permits, a daily snowplow led convoy is going the last stretch.
-you will have no guarantee that you can travel the road. if the authorities think it is to dangerous, the daily convoy is cancelled.
-so contact hegge at nordkapp reiseliv and buy me a beer when you vistit the cape,
