News and opening hours during the winter months in Å

21 January 2026

Lofoten is a popular destination in summer and winter. Many people who make the trip to Å and the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, we want to make sure that they find a good cup of coffee, a nice souvenir or can visit the museum and participate in a pleasant tour.

Guided tours and warm drinks

We are pleased to announce that guided tours of the museum are available during the winter months. Both the shop at the E10 end point (the service house) and the Old Shop are open every day, where you can buy museum tickets, souvenirs and some food items. If you want to warm up or are hungry, visit our cozy Museum Café, which offers homemade cakes and various coffee drinks. For those who would learn more about life in the fishing village, the museum is open every day, guided tours are available Tuesday-Saturday in January and February with Valeriia. Follow the museum for updated tour dates in March and April!

A little about the practicalities

The sun has returned, but winter is still here on Å. Therefore the roads can be icy and slippery, be prepared with good footwear and possibly with crampons.

Å is a weather-exposed place, where the wind direction and wind strength are influenced by the surrounding mountains.

At the end of December, we had a storm with strong winds that took part of the roof from the Old Shop. The skilled carpenters secured and covered the roof, so the area in the center is now safe. The next step with the roof work will be continued at a later date.

We hope to meet you in the winter months of the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum at Å!
