Sørvågen and Glåpen
The cabins sit in the Glåpen area, on the edge of the fishing village of Sørvågen — in the most beautiful part of Lofoten, in our view and that of many others. Close to the sea, with stunning views, silence and calm.
Sørvågen isn't a typical tourist spot, but a living little fishing village with two grocery stores, two restaurants and a café in summer — all a short walk away. Here you can watch the boats bring the day's catch to the dock.
Glåpen is its own protected recreational area, where you can withdraw into untouched nature, silence and the sweeping view whenever you like. At the same time, it's a short distance to the ferry quay — very practical when planning your journey to and from the cabin.
Stop by the fish landing station in Sørvågen or Moskenes with a bag and ask the staff, and you might be lucky enough to buy some of the day's catch fresh off the boat. Back at the cabin, you'll have everything you need to prepare a good meal from the ingredients.

All yearA living fishing village with deep roots
In Sørvågen you experience a real, living community — everyday life in Lofoten unfolds right within walking distance of the cabin, with life on the quay following the seasons.
Sørvågen was established in 1832 and is considered Lofoten's oldest fishing village. Today the place is carried on by the fifth generation of village owners, with a clear vision: to preserve its character and soul while developing it at a calm, patient pace the whole community is part of.
Around the cabin field where Nature & Sea and Golden Horizon sit, several hundred acres have been set aside as open recreational land. The idea is that the cabins should bring more life and activity to the village — ideally families who settle here year-round.
The fish landing station, slipway and boats on the quay keep the village alive, and a short walk away you'll find two grocery stores, two fine restaurants — Maren Anna and Havet — and a café in summer. Sørvågen also carries a proud history — home to Norway's first civilian wireless telegraph from 1906, and one of the country's earliest hydro power plants.
