In a nutshell

Nature is at its best on the west coast of Norway, and today on the island of Vågsøy, you can discover all its secrets. From the great winds that drive the waves and smooth the rock of the Kråkenes lighthouse to the beach of Refvik, so white that it looks like it's sculpted from chalk, to the rock of Kannestein with its unique shape, which resembles a sea creature. Guess which one!

The programme

Do you know why the island of Vågsøy is such a popular destination for surfers and photographers alike? Because in this little patch of land, the natural elements really put on a show.
The full power of these elements is evident all around the Kråkenes lighthouse, built on a rocky spur that has defied record-breaking winds, ice and gigantic waves for centuries. An interesting fact: you can spend the night in the lighthouse, to fully enjoy the spectacle.
Then, discover another side of nature with a stroll along the white beach of Refvik, a 1.5 km long stretch of sand with almost tropical colors...except for the mountains of the far north in the background!
And to finish, take a closer look at the Kannestein rock, carved into the shape of a whale's tail emerging from the water by the relentless action of the waves: indeed, here, the force of nature is like the hand of an artist.
