Bardufoss (Norwegian) or Beardogorži (Northern Sami)[4] is a town[1] and commercial centre in Målselv Municipality in Troms county, Norway.

The airport was renamed Snowman International on 19 March 2011 by a Norwegian Minister after a commercial flight landed from Manchester, England, to join the celebrations.

The natural forest is mostly made up of Downy birch, Scots pine, aspen and Grey alder.

However, Norway spruce has been planted in plantations since the middle part of the 20th century for economic reasons (timber).

[6][7] Although not far from the coast, Bardufoss and the larger Målselvdalen valley are known for a continental climate, and hence, colder winters (but with less humidity and little wind) compared to the coastal areas.
