They have been called ‘the islands of the Gods’ and ‘the most beautiful place on earth’ - and rightly so. Located just off the coast of northern Norway, this is a wonderland of steep, jagged peaks rising up from a cobalt ocean. In winter, the mountains are blanketed in snow and the white sand beaches glisten beneath rainstorms.
The summer months bring meadows dusted with wildflowers and deep green valleys. The Lofoten islands are also thus the perfect place to enjoy a range of adventure sports. Try hiking, climbing, fishing, kayaking, horse riding, skiing, whale watching, and Arctic surfing. If you are lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern lights while riding the North Atlantic breakers under a midnight sky.
For a cultural experience, visit the picturesque fishing village of Nusfjord, with its 19th-century wooden huts perched on the water’s edge beneath rugged cliffs.
