What's the best time to visit Lofoten?
Whether you're searching for the Northern Lights or hiking under the midnight sun, Lofoten's beauty is accessible all year round.
Lofoten is made up of seven islands that stretch out into the sea like a string of pearls. Along the coast you will find beaches like Kvalvika, Haukeland and Bunes. These white sandy beaches are beautiful, but be aware of the cold ocean temperature. Consider picking up a kayak for a unique perspective of the coastline.
You will find the most dramatic mountains on Moskenes island, and if you only have a few days in Lofoten don’t miss Reine and adventures such as Helvetestind and Hermanndalstind.
If you have more time you can explore all over Lofoten, traveling to Flakstad, Vestvågøy, and all the way over to Svolvær on Austvågøy. To see it all you probably need a week or two as the area is rather large and the options are so many.
