Risøyhamn is a peaceful hub in the middle of beautiful Andøy. Here you can find your own rhythm, whether you're looking for speed and excitement or calm and reflection. With bridge connections to both Andøya and the rest of Vesterålen, you are close to most things - but far from stress and noise.
For adventurous souls, Vesterålen is a true paradise. Here you can get your pulse racing - literally - in the face of the elements:
Summit tours and mountain climbing: Climb Måtinden or other airy peaks with panoramic views of the Great Sea.
Whale watching and ocean rafting: Meet the world's largest mammal up close - or feel the wind in your hair in a RIB on open waves.
Cycling and off-road racing: Explore the islands on two wheels or take part in local races under the light of the midnight sun.
In Vesterålen, you don't have to do much to experience great things. Here, nature is always close at hand - and the leisurely pace is good for body and soul:
Mountain hike and nature trail: Walk at your own pace through heather and mountains, accompanied by birdsong.
Fishing from land or boat: Cast your line from the shore - maybe you'll hook the day's dinner?
Beach life and archipelago tranquillity: Enjoy white sandy beaches and long, bright evenings with sea views.
Culture and local food: Visit local farms, galleries and cafés - or taste stockfish and fresh seafood straight from the sea.
Northern Lights hunting: As darkness falls and winter takes over, the nature experiences are still intense. Bundle up, grab a blanket and enjoy the show right outside your own lodge.
Welcome to a life close to nature, with the freedom to choose: high or low, fast or slow. In Vesterålen, your lodge awaits - and the opportunity to live exactly as you wish.
