THE LOFOTEN ISLANDS EXPEDITION
TRAVEL LIKE AN EXPLORER
|
The Lofoten Islands are famous for its scenery, but it can be crowded. So we like to travel the less paved roads and go to amazing places where hardly anyone goes. During this outdoor road trip we go hiking, snowshoeing (winter), kayaking in the fjords and hike up some summits. We make several base camps with tipi-tents and sometimes we use a remote cabin or a cottage. Cooking is outside on a fire or on the wood-stove in the tent. The road trips in between are marvelous with amazing views of the fjords and mountains. We focus on nature and scenery and less on the touristic hotspots. The expedition version of this outdoor road trip has a nice balance of sweat, challenges and cozy evenings. Costs are 1375 EUR (9 days).
