Å i Lofoten is a place where you definetely can have nature activities. In fact besides resting and enjoying the fabulous landscape, there are not a lot of things to do.
Take a walk around the village on the mountains beneath you. Although it might look a difficult hike the paths are pretty easy.
You will be the lucky winner of some amazing views and photo opportunities

The most popular excursion from Svolvaer, the main town in the Lofoten is a boat ride in the so-called Troll fjord, a very small but extremely scenic fjord because of the high mountains that surround it.

Haukland is a really beautiful place, which looks like it was taken
from Greece and placed in the cold north. Turquoise water and
white sand, surrounded by mountains, you HAVE to see this place!
When it's sunny, it's even more spectacular, but well worth a visit
no matter what weather.

On the south coast of the island of Moskenoesoy there is the wonderful town of Reine.
The town is known as The Pearl of the Lofoten and it is located in a marvel landscape when the mountains, the sea, the fjords creates a landscape unique in the world which remember a me a good setting for a Tolkien's movie.

The island of Vestvågøy is one of the most nice and scenic of all Norway. It has got cliffs and peaks facing the south eastern coast. In the north-west coast the land is flat with extensive farmlands. The coastline is dominated by high mountains and on the west coast also sandy white beaches.
The most important town of the island is Leknes.
At Borg, there is Lofotr, a museum presenting a reconstructed iron age chieftain's residence, with a house measuring 80 metres, built of stone and turf.

Svolvaergeita is a strange rocky formation with two peaks. You can see it from the town of Svolvaer and it is one of the symbol of the city. You can climb the mountain but it is very difficult to reach the two peaks: Storhornet adn Lillehornet. You can find more information in the tuorist office.

Svolvær is the administrative centre of Vågan Municipality. The town small town is a good starting point for tourists visiting the islands. Svolvær was given township privileges in 1918, but this was discontinued following a merge with neighbouring municipalities in 1964.
In the town you can find some banks, restaurants and a library.

On the Austvagoy island there is the main town of the Lofoten: Svolvær. Very nice are also the villages of Kabelvåg and Henningsvær. Svolvær is today the municipal centre, and has an impressive number of artists' studios and galleries.
