Skjomen Fjord
Skjomen
A deep fjord south-west of Narvik, surrounded by glaciers and snowy peaks. Driving along the fjord reveals waterfalls and glacier scenery.
Skjomen Fjord extends about 25 km south from the Ofoten Fjord, flanked by steep peaks more than 1,500 metres high, including Skjomtinden. At the head of the valley, the Frostisen glacier can be seen in the distance. Country roads along both sides of the fjord offer scenic driving, with waterfalls, small farms and fishing villages, and very few visitors. From Narvik, it takes about 30 minutes to drive south on the E6 across the Skjomen Bridge to the mouth of the fjord. A round trip to the head of the fjord takes about half a day.
