NORWAY | Lofoten Islands: 1 week roadtrip in November

The LOFOTEN Islands are located in Northern NORWAY, above the arctic circle.
With its scenery of snowy mountain peaks rising above the ocean, arctic fjords, traditional fishing villages, and Northern lights, this archipelago is one of the most epic European destinations worth exploring whatever the season. Here's an overview of what to see in a 1-week roadtrip in LOFOTEN around November.
Main Lofoten spots in November:
- Svolvær
- Henningsvær
- Offersøya
- Nusfjord
- Skagsanden Beach & Ramberg Beach
- Fredvang & Ytresand Beach
- Hamnøy & Sakrisøy
- Reine
- Å
Main Lofoten activities in November:
- Epic viewpoints and short walks along the main E10 road
- Fishing villages
- Overnight in a traditional Norwegian fishermen's cabin ("rorbu")
- Northern lights chasing
- Note: At this time of the year, snow starts packing on the roads and paths, so hiking is not as common as during Summer season.
Starting point and final point: Tromso Airport here, but it's also possible from Bodo Airport.

Thanks for sharing the video. It's absolutely mesmerizing. I am thinking of doing the trip this year but I am a bit scared about the driving conditions. Online there has are a lot of warnings about icy roads and snow storms, people getting stuck in their cars or the cars getting stuck in snow. Can you please share your experience about the roads and how easy or difficult it was to drive on them?

[@EvaTravelFilms]

Hello, thank you for your comment! Early November there was snow on some parts of the main road but it was OK to drive on it with the SUV. If you plan late November / December I cannot tell.

Love your video! Serenity with fantastic landscape ❤ may I know roughly at which date of nov you visited the islands? Want to visit in late nov but the daylight hours are too short

[@EvaTravelFilms]

Hello, thank you for your comment! Our trip was during the 1st days of November 2023. For end of November, good question, I guess yes a bit less daylight for walking, probably a bit more snow so trickier on the road, but I'm sure that this even quieter and low-light atmosphere might be nice to experience, with nice landscape photography opportunities and also theoretically more opportunities to chase Northern lights. So, pros and cons ;) I hope it helped.
