7 Days in Scandinavia: Copenhagen and Norway's Lofoten Islands

Overview

After two exciting and enthralling days in Denmark, the time has come to say your goodbyes to the country — and fly up and into the Arctic. After breakfast this morning, you’ll meet your driver for your private transfer back to the city’s airport. You’ll fly to Evenes: your gateway to Norway’s otherworldly Lofoten Islands. Upon landing, you’ll collect your rental car (if you’d rather focus on the scenery, you can alternatively opt for a prearranged driver) and set off through Norway’s Arctic frontier. In no time at all, you’ll feel the contrast between where your journey began and the world you've just inhabited. Fewer roads, fewer people, and more and more mountains rising from the sea greet you as you take your first steps through this enchanting region. To add to the ambiance, you may want to press play on the Up Norway road trip playlist, curated for this exact moment. You’ll check in at Kvitnes Gård (or similar), one of Norway’s most beloved eco-farms, where seasonality and circularity define the business. To kick off your time in Lofoten, you’ll celebrate with a delightful tasting menu of multiple courses … all prepared from what’s grown, caught, or foraged on-site. After dinner, you can keep the evening going — the Midnight Sun is on your side, after all — with a moment in the sauna, soaking up the sublime tranquility and sheer beauty of your new environment.

Highlights

Accommodations

Kvitnes Gard (or similar)

Stay a night — or more — at this 1855 farmhouse, which boasts 15 spectacular rooms in a proudly rustic and relaxing environment. While the one-of-a-kind property is harmonious in its attention to the great outdoors, each room boasts a unique charm rooted in history and pastoral idylls. Picture yourself sipping hot coffee as the Arctic daylight strikes the mountains with a golden glow ... and chickens run through the farm's yard in a crooning cacophony. Further adding to the allure, the farmhouse's restaurant can't be beat, thanks to that recurring focus on deep connections to Norway's nature.
