GOOD TO KNOW
- This route picks up in the north (near Evenes/Narvik airport) rather than Oslo — ask us how the northern pickup works before booking.
- The single E10 threads the whole archipelago, so distances are short but the road is busy in July — start each day early.
- Wild-camping rules are strict in Lofoten; use marked campsites or signed spots and never park overnight where it's prohibited.
