VELKOMMEN

WELCOME

Above the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands of Norway blur the line between imagined myth and reality. With landscapes and culture that feel as if they belong in your favorite folklore legend, something within you is bound to awaken in this numinous environment.

TRIP ESSENCE

If we had to describe the Lofoten Islands, we would use words like: majestic fjords, pointy mountains, quiet century-old fishing villages, ancient Viking history, rolling green hillsides, fluffy sheep, wildflowers galore, cozy corners, nice people in sweaters, fresh pastries, hot tea, muddy boots, and happy hearts.

This is a trekking focused trip with daily cultural experiences. Each day might look a little something like this:

  • Breakfast at our hotel/resort

  • A long hike in possibly the most beautiful landscape your eyes have ever seen

  • Picnic lunch with mountain views

  • An afternoon traditional sauna on the edge of a fjord

  • Downtime to walk around town and do self-care things

  • Local dinner shared with group

  • Watch the endless sunset of the arctic midnight sun

  • Cozy night of sleep in your very own rorbu (restored fishing cabins)

ITINERARY

  • This adventure begins in the small fishing village of Henningsvær, Norway on the eastern side of the Lofoten Islands. Over the next 8 days, we will make our way west across all 5 of the major islands as we explore lush green peaks, shimmering blue fjords, and idyllic sandy beaches. We will stay in 3 of the most charming old fishing towns in Lofoten: Henningsvær, Reine, and Nusfjord. We will hike up to 6.5 miles per day with up to 3000ft of elevation gain.

  • We will pick you up from the Svolvaer Airport and make the short drive to the beautiful town of Henningsvaer, where we will spend the next 2 nights. We'll share lunch at a cafe and have free time in town. In the evening, we will have a welcome talk and brief you on all the exciting adventures we have in store over the next week, followed by dinner at Fiskekrogen.

  • After a traditional Norwegian breakfast, we will head out for our first hike. Depending on the weather, we will choose a perfect warm-up hike near Henningsvaer as we start to experience the magic of the Lofoten Islands. In the afternoon, we will have some time to explore the charming town of Henningsvaer before a special evening at one of our favorite local hangouts, where we have booked a private yoga class, a seaside sauna, and wood-fired pizzas.

Comfort Level 4/4

CHALLENGE LEVEL 3/4

Important Note: We will try our best to follow the set itinerary, but please know that each day is subject to slight changes in the itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances like weather. Also, while the hiking distance each day is only between 3 - 6.5 miles, the trails often cover a lot of elevation over a short distance. Clients should feel comfortable on steep, rocky, and muddy terrain.

On this trip, we will be staying in traditional Norwegian Rorbuer and local seaside hotels. Historically, fishermen from all over Norway would come to the Lofoten Islands in the spring to fish for cod in the abundant waters near Lofoten. Rorbuer were the seaside cabins originally built to house these traveling fishermen and have now been beautifully renovated to host travelers like us!
