Sandnessjøen is a nature- and history-rich Norwegian town located ten kilometres from Sandnessjøen airport on the breathtaking Helgeland Coast. Encircled in misty mountains, decorated by fjords and lapped by pristine ocean waters, the area is a treasure-trove of outdoor adventures. Innumerable hiking trails wind along grassy headlands and through the ancient Seven Sister crags, cycling routes pass atmospheric beaches and the pretty harbour, and idyllic coastal campsites make the most of the fishing, boating and swimming opportunities on offer. Delve into Viking history, pop into medieval churches, and make sure to visit the awe-inspiring Petter Dass-museum at Alstahaug (dedicated to the life and works of the renowned priest and poet), housed in an impressive Avante-Garde building. Indulge in a day of hydro-therapy (and more) at the Civic Centre.
