December 2007 marked the opening of the new mainland connection with Lofoten, known as Lofast. This new road connection enables direct road travel between Harstad and the island kingdom of Lofoten without requiring ferries. The driving time between Harstad and Svolvær in Lofoten has been cut to just 2 hours and 40 minutes. This enables visitors to Harstad to make exciting day trips to the outermost parts of the Lofoten Islands.
You should also take a trip around Kvæfjord Municipality and the ferry connection between Flesnes and Refsnes to travel to or from Lofoten. Traditional svele (thick pancakes) are served on the ferry, and this route is 30 kilometres shorter than travelling via Lødingen.
