Guide to Lofoten

Have you ever wondered when is the best time to see the beautiful Northern Lights in Lofoten? Many people think they can only be seen in winter, but that’s not true! This article will guide you on when and how to experience the magic of the Northern Lights in Lofoten.

Ryten is one of the most popular hikes in the western part of the Lofoten islands. It is no wonder, by Lofoten standards, it is a relatively easy trip you can do all year round. The views from the top are stunning, especially the view towards the isolated Kvalvika beach, with its ice-cold turquoise waters roaring on the white sand between massive vertical cliffs rising straight from the ocean. The cherry on top of the cake is the cliff close to the summit, which resembles a miniature Trolltunga and belongs to classical Lofoten Instagram shots.
