Reinebringen is, without a doubt, the most famous hike in the Lofoten Islands. In fact, it is one of the most visited hikes in all of Norway. By June 2024, 41,000 people hiked Reinebringen, which means that Reinebringen attracts more people monthly than other famous Lofoten hikes like Festvågtinden or Mannen do in a year.

Tromsø, the largest city in Northern Norway with 70,000 residents, is renowned for the northern lights, thanks to its position within the auroral oval. With drones becoming increasingly affordable, it’s no surprise that tourists wish to capture aerial footage and photos of their vacation spots. However, drone flying in Tromsø and its immediate vicinity is prohibited due to its close proximity to Tromsø Airport. Moreover, this ban is strictly enforced, and violators face hefty fines, confiscation of their drone, and possible expulsion from the country.
