Snowshoeing in the dark? A nature safari with chances to spot the Northern lights!
Experience the magic of Lofoten with an Evening Snowshoe Hike, no matter the weather! As darkness falls over the Arctic landscape, Lofoten transforms into a serene and mysterious world, just waiting to be explored. This tour takes you on a short 15-minute drive from Svolvær before we strap on our snowshoes and turn on our headlamps. The hike is short and easy, about 2-3 km with multiple stops to take in the dramatic surroundings.
Lofoten is famous for its ever-changing weather, and it’s this unpredictability that makes the experience unique. We don’t cancel due to a little rain – in fact, the weather is part of the magic. You’ll feel the elements as you trek through snow-covered landscapes, sheltered by a traditional Norwegian “gapahuk” where we pause to make coffee over a fire. Here, the guide shares captivating stories about the area’s history and culture.
If we’re lucky, the skies will clear for some breathtaking stargazing, and there’s even a chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing above. This is Lofoten at its rawest – unpredictable, wild, and unforgettable.
