Skipnes is a distinctive holiday resort in the heart of an authentic fishing village on the outer edge of Vesterålen in northern Norway. The fishing village of Skipnes has 150 metres of wooden quay, and majestic white-painted buildings stand testimony to a rich and adventurous coastal history. Arriving at this idyllic holiday resort is an experience in itself. Here you will experience a special proximity to mountains and fjords, midnight sun or storm, in historic and peaceful surroundings.

The hosts at Fiskeværet Skipnes offer a service for tourists and travellers who want to experience a different kind of holiday.
