The road to North Cape is open for all traffic the year round, except between . During the winter season there are convois going up where all the period about 01.11 till about 30.04cars have to go behind a snowplow. The road is closed for all traffic after convoi towards the first snowfallcape leave at 11am and 12am and go back at 1pm and 1:45pm. That means no hitch-hiking There is possible as there are no cars a night convoi that leaves at 7:30pm and the road is not cleaned of the snowgoes back at 9:4pm. Due security reasons it’s therefore only the local buses have permission of the authorities to drive up the last 13 km You can also go by foot but take care: Don't walk on the E69 from the crossing at Skarsvåg road but next to North Cape in the period between 01it.12 till the 31.03. It is possible to hitch Be prepared for strong snowfall, wind up to the last crossing to Skarsvåg (although there are very few cars going to this small village in wintertp 70+ km/early spring) h and then continue by foot - the no sight. If you have no experience with that, do not approach this path! The Arctic winter climate makes it especially challenging and at the same time very exciting to visit Europe’s northernmost point at this time of the year. Remember, the North Cape is situated way above arctic circle, and you would be surrounded by complete darkness for ~20 hours a day during winter season.
=== Cold and Cozy New Year Cape North Cuddeling Session ===
In January 2018 a number of hitchhikers embarked on the journey to the North Cape and partially met up at the cabins near [[Skarsvag]]. Hitchhiking from Germany via Sweden and Finland to the North Cape took them between 5-7 days and one of them even made it in 72h from the North Cape to Berlin.
 
=== New Year 2019/2020 ===
The same hut was used for a small gathering of 4 hitchhikers. The hut was in good condition, the oven was working well with dry wood and there was enough place to sleep and 1-2 more could have fit even.
