The small community of Grøtavær is one of many settlements away from the city hustle and bustle.

Join our local guide and get to know the secrets of a life in rural Northern Norway.

In this small community you will visit local enthusiasts working to keep the village alive, and they will share with you their passion for their work and their island.

Maybe you will even be invited for coffee at the front steps, just like the locals do with their friends and neighbours.
