Our vision is to make the Bardufoss Region one of the most preferred travel destination of the north. Our mission is to market and sell carefully selected travel and tourism based services in the region surrounding Bardufoss Airport. Visit Bardufoss can own and operate activities, accommodations and restaurants, in addition to taking care of sales, marketing and booking for companies who wish to subcontract these services.
The company serves as a DMC (Destination Management Company) in connection with group arrivals. Visit Bardufoss will in addition sell travel and tourism based consulting services, take on typical destination tasks for regions, and take on PR assignments.
Rundhaug Gjestegård AS (Org. nr. 998530296) is the legal owner of the brand Visit Bardufoss. Our future goal is to establish an independent company with the brand, hopefully with several owners.
The snowman is our mascot, and intend to symbolize arctic nature such as wild snow, the northern lights, salmon, and to emphasize our advantages as a sustainable tourism destination.

Geographically, our reception is placed where we have the greatest activity, and this changes throughout the year between Basecamp Snowman and Rundhaug Gjestegård, or wherever we receive larger groups of guests. We are however always available on phone and e-mail! Our booking phone is operated between 9AM and 5PM.
