About V\u00e6r\u00f8y<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e6r\u00f8y has everything typical of Lofoten. Midnight sun, Northern Lights, white sandy beaches, a rich bird life and a rich fishing history, all while still being a lively fishing village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e6r\u00f8y – an exotic gem in Lofoten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f8rland is the center of V\u00e6r\u00f8y where you will find accommodation, grocery stores, restaurants, handicrafts and antiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e6r\u00f8y is located in the sea between Moskenes in the north and R\u00f8st in the south. Between Moskenes and V\u00e6r\u00f8y lies the world’s strongest maelstrom, Moskenesstraumen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the largest industry on the island is fishing and due to the climate it is perfect for stockfish production. The stockfish trade with foreign countries has led to Venice becoming V\u00e6r\u00f8y’s friendship municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special mountains on V\u00e6r\u00f8y are steep, but at the same time easy to walk in. The most famous mountain hike is H\u00e5heia. The prize is a fantastic panoramic view of Lofoten and the Vestfjord. From here you can also see the abandoned place M\u00e5stad where the rare Puffin dog comes from. It is also possible to go to M\u00e5stad. Starting point from Nordlandshagen and the closed airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On V\u00e6r\u00f8y you can see Lofoten’s oldest church, bird cliffs and old eagle trapping caves where eagles were caught with just their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
