Frequently Asked Questions
Ships anchor in the Reinefjorden and tender passengers to a simple pier about ten minutes' walk from the village centre. The entrance into the fjord is worth a spot on deck.
The red cabins that made Reine's reputation: former seasonal fishermen's quarters built with their feet in the water, on stilts among the skerries. Many now take in travellers.
Barely three hundred, even though its silhouette has travelled the world. It is one of the most photographed landscapes in Norway, on the island of Moskenes in Lofoten.
A 448-metre summit above the village, climbed by a stone staircase built by Nepalese sherpas. Allow about two hours return with proper footwear. In wet weather it is better to skip it: the steps get slippery.
Yes, follow the road that hops from islet to islet across a series of bridges. An hour and a quarter of easy walking takes you through Sakrisoy, recognizable by its ochre rather than red houses, then Hamnoy with its rorbuer lined up against the cliffs.
At Sakrisoy, a seafood counter serves a fish burger famous across the archipelago. Note that shops take cards but opening hours stay short outside the season.
A hamlet at the very end of European route 10, where a stockfish museum occupies former warehouses. You can continue there by taxi from Reine if you are curious.
Because every winter the Arctic cod comes down from the Barents Sea to spawn, and the nets bring up the skrei, which is hung in the open air until spring. Lofoten stockfish is still exported, notably to Italy.
Yes, the heart of the fjord is sheltered water, with rentals and guided trips leaving from the hamlet. It is a way of seeing the cliffs from the water rather than from above.
A windproof jacket and warm layers even in summer: the fjord makes its own weather. If you walk toward Sakrisoy and Hamnoy, note that the route follows the road shoulder — stay alert.
