General presentation
Côte du Helgeland
Thousands of islands, a chain of peaks and slow ferries draw a spectacular coast under the polar circle.
The Seven Sisters, Torghatten and Vegaøyan, give the most telling landmarks of the Helgeland Coast. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, island landscapes, mountain reliefs and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 5 to 10 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
