    June is the best month to visit, even if the temp is 2 degrees colder on average than in July. You'll get the best midnight sun that month, since the days start getting shorter from the 21st of June. There will be less insects in June than in July, allowing you to enjoy nature even more. And you'll have peace and quiet (+ more to yourself), since most of the tourists have not arrived yet.

    Settlements in Lofoten doesn't only "date back to the viking age". It's MUCH MUCH MUCH older. The viking age started 1.230 years ago (in 793), the first settlements in Lofoten were around 10.000 years ago, meaning EIGHT TIMES older.
    Apart from that, great video from my region of the world - thanks :)

    @politicallycorrectredskin796 2 года назад +1

    At least in my XP as a southern Norwegian, June is probably the best month to visit the north. It's almost always wet anyway. In spring and early summer from melt water, in late summer and autumn from rain. The weather tends to be best in late May/June. But I would be very hard pressed to suggest a time of year to tourists where they don't run a somewhat severe risk of becoming wet. Rain jacket, a good sweater, the best footwear you can afford, some sort of a hat and optimism are the things you will need on holiday in Norway. Also money.
    PS: Winter can be amazing too. It can also be absolutely horrible. Upside is clear, still weather, deep cold and northern lights swirling across the stars. Downside is clouds at ground level and a blizzard/rainstorm simultaneously in the dark while rivers of melted snow threaten to elope with you out to sea.. It rains down first and then back up again for good measure. And a little sideways and some round and round to make sure you get wet. You won't be able to see a damn thing either and might as well vacation inside your cupboard at home.

    Thank you for the information and the beautiful pictures. I'm planning to travel there in july 2023 but I'm not going to rent a car. I'm a public transport person and I found that where the rails end, Norway has decent bus services. I might not be able to get to the most remote corners but I also don't have to spend thousands on transportation alone that way. I still have to work out details such as where to stay overnight and who to visit, but I'll get to it.

It will be from Tromsø to Starvagen, including Senja (hike Segla and Hesten) and Lofoten islands (hike Ryten & Kvalv, Bunes Beach & Helvetestind, and Munken), then fly to Ålesund (hike Saksa in Sunnmore Alps and visit Geirangerfjord), followed by the 3 iconic hikes (Trolltunga, Pulpit Rock, Kjeragbolton).
