Getting to Casa Lofoten
The house sits on a quiet side fjord in the west of Lofoten — five minutes from Ramberg, four minutes off the E10, thirty minutes from Leknes airport. This guide covers only the last leg: the roads, the tunnel, and exactly where to turn.
The house, exactly
First, get to Lofoten
See how to get to Lofoten in our guide: Getting to Lofoten.
Leknes to the door, in 30 minutes
Pick up the rental car at the airport — then it is one road, nearly all the way.
From Leknes you follow the E10 west, drop through the undersea Nappstraumen tunnel to Flakstadøya, and carry on along the coast to Ramberg. There you leave the E10 for the side road along Skjelfjorden, and the last five minutes run quietly along the water to the house.
Know what the E10 is like before you drive it: often very narrow, shared with motorhomes and lorries that sometimes have to stop completely to pass each other — and sheep graze along the road, at times on it. None of this is difficult; it just asks for unhurried driving.
The whole final leg — from the tunnel mouth at Napp to our door — filmed from the car and compressed to under a minute.
Temporary: the Nappstraumen tunnel works (until December 2027)
The undersea tunnel is the E10’s only link between Leknes and the west. During work periods there is convoy driving behind a lead car in the daytime, and the tunnel closes at night (roughly 23:00–06:00) with only limited let-throughs — waits can reach an hour. The works pause around Christmas and for a period each summer. Check current convoy and closing times in the Statens vegvesen traffic app before an early flight or a late arrival. This notice comes down when the works finish.
Finding the house
The address is Skjelfjordveien 78, 8380 Ramberg — the exact spot is pinned in the box at the top of this page. The house sits on its own side fjord, off the E10, which is precisely why it is quiet.
Check-in is self service with a code lock: from 16:00 on arrival day, checkout by 11:00. The code comes with your booking, so a delayed plane or a late ferry is no problem. If you rent electric, the house has its own Type 2 charger, free for guests — plug in on arrival and forget about it.
Located on a side fjord and therefore not directly on the E10 […] quiet.
An ideal starting point […] Å, Nusfjord, Uttakleiv — all within a short drive.
Welcome to Casa Lofoten
Five minutes after Ramberg you are parked by a private beach, with the sauna by the water and the whole west of Lofoten within an easy drive. That part, the guides can only describe.
