Your destination

About Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands rise straight out of the Norwegian Sea in a wall of granite peaks, red fishermen's cabins and white-sand beaches, roughly 200 km inside the Arctic Circle. The car ferry from Bodø to Moskenes is the classic gateway, landing you a few minutes' drive from the postcard villages of Reine and Å at the archipelago's southern tip.
