Northern Parts of Fjord Norway (continued)
HELGELAND
This part of the Norwegian coastline reaches from Rørvik to Ørnes
and crosses the Arctic Circle. It is home to breathtaking mountains,
a lowland area (strandflaten) that at times dips below the sea's
surface, and thousands of islands that vary from tiny to spacious.
On Torget island, you can walk through the 82-feet-wide hole in
Torghatten mountain that was carved during Scandinavia's Ice Age.
On Alsta, De syv søstre (the Seven Sisters) is a beautiful ridge that
will not disappoint. Then there's the Vega archipelago, a UNESCO
World Heritage site comprising 6,500 islands believed to have been
settled by humans during the Stone Age. Take the Vega Staircase
(Vegatrappa) to the top for an extraordinary look at the city of Søla.
BONUS! Visit the Vistenfjord, aka " the unknown fjord, "
that's located between the Seven Sisters and Vega Islands and
experience one of the area's most varied natural habitats. It
traces the acts of hunting and fishing back 9,000 years.
VESTERÅLEN
A whale-watcher's paradise, the Vesterålen archipelago is the
only Norwegian destination where you can see these majestic
mammals year-round. Often passed over for Lofoten, its famous
neighbor about 60 miles south, these 1,330 islands in the Northern
Nordland region are home to white sandy beaches, craggy peaks
that jut out from the sea and picturesque villages filled with
centuries-old fishing and trading cabins (rorbuer) painted in vibrant
colors.
BONUS! Swing through Nyksund to see the many angling
houses that have been turned into art galleries, museums and
top-notch restaurants.
SENJA
The country's second-largest island is in Troms og Finnmark
county. An outdoor-adventure-lover's paradise, Senja offers tons
of options for superb skiing, both off-piste and at several alpine
centers and resorts. In the warm months, there's plenty of hiking
in mountainous ridges and lush forests, cycling along the exposed
coastline, and angling in bountiful turquoise waters.
BONUS! Check out Hamn, a charming old fishing village
with tons to see and do.
TROMSØ
Northern Norway's largest city sits on the eastern edge of the
island of Tromsøya more than 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
You can see the northern lights from September through March,
or play for 24 hours in the midnight sun if you're there at the end
of May through July. Tromsø has been certified as a Sustainable
Destination, which means it actively works to lower any negative
impacts brought on by tourism.
BONUS! In 2023, hit up the Northern Lights Festival
(Nordlysfestivalen) from Jan. 27-Feb. 4.
