Sandnessjøen Norway

Enjoy great outdoor experiences along the Helgeland coast and the town of Sandnessjøen on the island of Alsta, Norway. The surrounding Seven Sisters mountains and the Vega islands are registered UNESCO sites with seven beautiful hiking paths to the mountain peaks and island hopping by bike is a fantastic way to breath the crisp, fresh air and admire the breath-taking scenery.

Take time to explore the town centre with many unique shops, including the beautiful glass art shop handmade by artist Turid Grov. Stop to take photos of the elegant designed Helgeland Bridge and visit the museum to admire the work of the parson poet Petter Dass and the beautiful architecture of the 12th century Romanesque Alstahaug church. Sandnessjøen offers excellent cafés and restaurants serving fresh produce grown in the Helgeland region.
