The Lofoten Wall
A continuous chain of steep, granite peaks rising directly from the Norwegian Sea.
Gimsøystraumen Bridge
The elegant bridge connecting the islands, spanning over clear, swirling tidal currents.
Gimsøya Beaches
Stunning white sand beaches and turquoise waters that look more Caribbean than Arctic.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Because the flight is extremely short (often under 20 minutes) and stays at a low altitude, the detail on the rock faces is incredible. During the Midnight Sun in summer, this side receives the best lighting for photography. Have your camera ready from the moment of takeoff, as the best scenery appears immediately.

Svolvær Harbor
Aerial view of the 'Capital of Lofoten' with its iconic fishing racks and colorful waterfront buildings.
Henningsvær Village
Look for the world-famous soccer pitch located on the tip of a rocky island surrounded by sea.
Vestfjorden Expanse
The massive open fjord that separates the Lofoten archipelago from the Norwegian mainland.
Sit on the left if you want to see the famous Henningsvær soccer stadium, which is usually visible mid-flight. This side is particularly scenic during the morning hours when the sun illuminates the mountains from the south, casting a golden glow over the fishing villages.
