in winter

PS: Try Lofoten in summer, too!

It's all about the light.

Countless shades of blue…

…orange…

…and green.

Winter is aurora time, when the stunning northern lights are visible from September to March.

The rapidly changing weather and magnificent light conditions have drawn artists and outdoor enthusiasts to this area for decades.

The Lofoten Islands are spread across the turbulent waters of the Norwegian Sea, above the Arctic Circle. This rare wilderness outpost offers a landscape of majestic mountains, deep fjords, long, wave-swept beaches, and quaint fishing villages.

Lofoten has a strong connection to the Viking Age. Excellent fishing has always been a key reason why people have lived here for millennia.

Thanks to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, Lofoten has a much milder climate than other parts of the world at the same latitude.

Winter is also gourmet time!

Every year, between February and March, migrating Atlantic cod, called skrei, come to Lofoten to spawn.

This is the fish that built Norway, and led to numerous small settlements being established in this remote area.

If the weather is good, you can join a fishing trip and try your fishing luck (there's even a sexy little local tip for that!).

There are daily trips from Svolvær and other locations on request.

Learn all about skrei

Most of the skrei is hung on racks, where the salty wind dries them to make stockfish.

Enjoy it grilled, baked, cooked, as a dried snack, or even as a pizza topping!

13 fun facts about stockfish

But super-fresh seafood is not the only treat after a full day outside.

You should also try the famous Lofoten lamb, cloudberry delicacies, and some wonderful locally produced cheeses!

After a long winter, spring arrives!

Suddenly the nights are white and eternal. Spring is also a very tranquil and beautiful time of year to visit.

What are you waiting for?

Lofoten has achieved the certification Sustainable Destination. Although this does not mean that the destination is completely sustainable, it has made a commitment to work systematically to reduce the negative effects of tourism, while strengthening its positive ripple effects.

Driving in winter

…requires that you are an experienced driver used to driving in winterly conditions, on ice and snow. If not, choose public transport (which is both comfortable and reliable). Don´t stop in the middle of the road to take pictures or to enjoy the scenery.

Read more about driving in Norway in winter.

How to dress

Dress in layers: a thin wool layer closest to your body, a layer of fleece/thicker wool, and a down jacket and/or waterproof gear as the outer layer!

Travel insurance

Winter storms come and go, and might cause transport disruptions. Make sure you have good travel insurance before you go.

What's the weather like?

Winter in the Arctic can start as early as October and might last until almost the end of April.

Since the Lofoten Islands lie so far out in the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream, its climate is costal and much warmer than other Arctic destinations. The temperature often fluctuates between -5°C to 3°C.

The climate from October to December often brings both rain and snow. The mountains are often covered in snow, while more low-lying parts are free from snow. Winter is also high season for beautiful rainbows!

'Real' winter usually starts in January and lasts until mid March. During these months, you can usually expect to see more snow everywhere, including in low-lying areas. From February to April, the amount of daylight increases every day, and the temperatures on a calm, sunny day can be quite pleasant!

The archipelago lies far out in the ocean, so storms occur quite frequently, causing disruptions to transport. Make sure to allow enough time for delays and do purchase good travel insurance.

How dark does it get?

The days become shorter as early as in October, but Lofoten only has mørketid, 'the dark time', for 5-6 weeks, from the beginning of December until early January.

But it's not completely dark all day. You can have several hours of daylight, especially on clear days. The sun never disappears completely, it only dips below and hovers above the horizon, often lighting up the clouds from below, creating the wildest colours you've ever seen. Enjoy the beautiful 'blue hour' just before dusk and dawn every day.

Although the hours of daylight are scarce from mid-November until the end of January, it is also a very nice and tranquil period, with great opportunities to see the auroras!

In February, the days become longer, and the ski touring season and Lofoten seasonal fishery are on. By April 1, the sky is once again too bright to see the aurora until next season.

Getting here and around

Plan your trip to Lofoten with Entur, Norway's official travel planner.

  • By plane

    There are frequent flights to regional airports, including Bodø Airport and Lofoten/Harstad/Narvik Airport, and to local airports in Svolvær, Leknes, and Røst.

    The flight from Oslo to Bodø takes 1.5 hours and an additional 20–30 minute flight or approximately 3–4 hour boat ride from there to Lofoten. From Lofoten/Harstad/Evenes it's a 2.5-4 hour drive or bus ride to Lofoten.

    There is also a helicopter service between Bodø and Værøy.

    Ad: Norwegian – cheap flights throughout Europe

    Local travel

    The E10 (King Olav V’s road) is the main motorway connecting the Lofoten archipelago from west to east. Travelling by public transport requires some planning, especially if you want to go anywhere off the E10, so check the timetables carefully.

    For tickets and timetables, visit Entur

    By boat

    There are daily express boat services operating year round between Bodø, Svolvær, and Skrova.

    The Norwegian Coastal Voyage Hurtigruten calls at daily Stamsund and Svolvær in Lofoten, while Havila Voyages calls at the same ports two days a week. You can also sail shorter distances between Bodø, Tromsø, and Lofoten, for example.

    Ad: Hurtigruten – the world’s most beautiful sea voyage

    Ad: Auto Europe – car rentals

    By train

    There are daily train services all year between Narvik and Kiruna, and Stockholm. From Narvik, you can catch a bus to the Lofoten Islands.

    For tickets and timetables, visit Entur

Important information about winter driving in Norway

If you are going to drive in Norway in the cold season (October–April) you and your car need to be prepared before you hit the road. Icy, slippery roads, snow, darkness, and poor visibility can make driving challenging at this time of year and it's important to know how to prepare:
