BALLANGEN - REINE IN LOFOTEN
This tour takes the participants through Efjord, Stefjord with Norway’s national mountain Stetind and to Kjøpsvik. After the ferry crossing to Drag you drive via Ulsvåg, through the beautiful Hamarøy to Skutvik for another ferry crossing Vestfjorden to Svolvær.
Both the way through Hamarøy and E10 beyond Lofoten towards Nusfjord and Reine are relative small and narrow. The speed will therefore be low and the participants will get closer the nature and the beautiful landscape.
It is possible to arrange with overnight stop and eventual common dinner serving for the group at Reine.
