This wonderful journey, described by customers as a holiday of a lifetime, takes you through the wild and dramatic Lofoten Islands, with some truly spectacular walks in this unique Arctic landscape that fuses sea, mountain-top and fishing village. To walk here is to discover a landscape of startling beauty and contrasts: expanses of open moorland, hidden mountain lakes and a picturesque coastline bathed for much of the summer in the special light of the Midnight Sun.

Approaching the Lofotens by sea is truly amazing - a seemingly impenetrable wall of jagged mountains rising before you heralds the magnificence to come.
     
Starting on Skrova, you work westwards, staying on each of the archipelago’s three main groups of islands, with the option of ending, appropriately enough, with an excursion to the village of Å (pronounced ‘Oh’), named after the final letter of the Norwegian alphabet. We include a hire car for most of your holiday so that you can drive between bases and make the most of the walking. On the larger two islands, we have researched a choice of memorable walks, generally of a grade 2 standard, with some rugged terrain and far-reaching views. The simple, traditional accommodation (twin beds only) offers good access to the walking, as well as the chance to get a glimpse of everyday life in typical Lofoten fishing villages.
