It all began with a simple idea – a family holiday to the enchanting landscapes of Lofoten. As my husband and I found ourselves spellbound by the majestic mountains that surrounded us, our kids had their own agenda. They were more interested in the pristine beaches, where they fearlessly jumped into the ice-cold waters and embarked on treasure hunts for the most amazing seashells.
Our journey took us to picturesque destinations like Værøya, Å and Reine, and we discovered the serene beauty of Flakstad, Ramberg, Kvalvika, and Uttekleiv beaches. While we had hoped to hike more peaks, the unpredictable weather had other plans, limiting our mountain adventures. Yet, every twist and turn in this breathtaking archipelago left us in awe.
Will we return to Lofoten? Absolutely, without a doubt! Our hearts have been forever captured by the untamed allure of this place.
You can find more photos from this trip on my Blog. Here, I show my favourite shots.
Værøya, an island which belongs to Lofoten archipelago, but you need a ferry to get there. A view from Håen is outstanding!

The turquoise colour of water left me speechless. You see a bit of that from the ground, but capturing with a drone opens completely new perspective.
