The reality is that it rains and is gloomy ALOT more than social media makes it seem… even in the summer haha
I was in Lofoten for 5 days and there wasn’t a single day of sunshine unfortunately 🥲 we had a few short pockets of sun 1 or 2 days and got lucky with an incredible rainbow on the only hike I did but other than that…. It was rain, gloom and wind hahah.
BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the area and make the most of it! This was how we spent my 29th birthday and honestly it was still one of my best ones 🫶🏼☺️⛰️🌧️🌈
🥾HIKE INFO-
this was the Festvägtinden and
Presten (Torsketunga) trail!
It’s extremely steep and the Presten section (the view with the rainbow) is quite dangerous, especially in rainy and windy conditions. So be weary of that part and only go here if you’re experienced.
🛢️SAUNA INFO-
This cute barrel sauna is a at the Lofoten apartments! It’s near the hike we did and you can rent a spot online for 2 hours for $30. Totally worth it and we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves. We tried a few saunas as well during all the cold and rainy days!
🧁BAKERY INFO-
Honestly I’d try any near you :) we have tried quite a few being here and they are all so different!
The views and beaches will be all over the Lofoten area :) stop when you can and soak in all the views 🫶🏼🚗
