Surrounded by majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters lies Svolvær, the largest town in Lofoten. Here, you can experience the ever‑changing seasons up close from the endless daylight of the midnight sun to the enchanting displays of the Northern Lights.
With Widerøe you can fly directly to Svolvær from Bodø and Tromsø. During the summer season, you can also find direct flights from Oslo Airport (Gardermoen).
From Svolvær, you can continue to other destinations in Norway via connecting flights, such as Trondheim and Bergen – with onward connections to exciting destinations across Norway.
Svolvær is where Lofoten truly begins. You arrive in the middle of a vibrant fishing town, surrounded by mountain peaks, archipelagos and open sea. Experiences await at every turn – from surfing, kayaking and fishing to hiking in dramatic landscapes. You’ll find trails for all levels, including the popular Tjeldbergtinden, offering panoramic views of the town and surrounding mountains.
The area is also rich in wildlife, with moose, foxes, hares and stoats on land, and fish, otters, seals and whales at sea. Along the harbour, you may spot the king of the skies – the sea eagle – soaring overhead. You can also join fishing trips on traditional vessels or take part in experiences like Catch & Dine and Sea2Table, where you catch your own fish and enjoy it freshly prepared for dinner.
Svolvær lies directly beneath the aurora oval, where the northern lights appear most frequently and at their strongest. On a guided northern lights safari, you’ll be taken to the best locations to experience this magical phenomenon. It’s just one of many reasons to visit – and to return.
