Lofoten in four days: light, fishing villages and short hikes
North of the Arctic Circle, Lofoten rises straight out of the sea. A four day plan for fishing villages, white beaches and short hikes in the northern light.
A long weekend is enough for a coast path, an archipelago or a string of Arctic fishing villages, if you plan the light, the weather and the transport. Our nature pages cover Mallorca’s Tramuntana, the Stockholm archipelago and the Lofoten Islands in practical detail.
