SEASONS ON LOFOTEN
SUMMER

The Lofoten Islands are a dreamlike landscape of rugged mountain peaks rising directly from the deep blue sea. North of the arctic circle, Lofoten is a true land of the midnight sun, where it will circle the sky for nearly two months without setting. During summer, time ceases to hold much importance and beginning a hike at midnight makes just as much sense as noon.

In this guide you’ll find the information I’ve gathered over many years of travel to the Islands, helping provide you with a working knowledge base to plan your visit to Lofoten and experience the best the Islands have to offer.

Welcome to Lofoten – welcome to the Islands of light.
