Why it works for the aurora
- View
- Open to the north: the land rises to about 4° at most, lowest towards the north-north-east..
- Darkness
- Some light pollution, grade 3 on a scale from 0 (darkest) to 5. Glow from a nearby town; bright aurora is easy to see, faint aurora is washed out.
- Aurora
- Under the auroral oval: aurora can be overhead even on quiet nights.
Getting there
- Distance
- About 5 km by road from the middle of Lofoten (estimate), roughly 6 min by car.

Before you go
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Norway before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
