On the edge of Sommarøy island, three small traditional wooden houses sit right by the turquoise water, backed by white-sand beaches and jagged mountain silhouettes. It’s one of the most photographed spots on the island — and for good reason. Whether you’re a photographer chasing that perfect frame, a romantic looking for a dreamy view, or simply passing by, this peaceful corner feels like stepping straight into an Arctic postcard.
What makes this spot truly magical is how it changes with the light:
☀️ On bright sunny days, the houses glow against the vivid blue of the sea.
🌅 At golden hour, everything is bathed in soft, warm light.
🌌 At night, with almost zero light pollution, it’s an ideal place to watch the northern lights dancing above the rooftops.
Tip for photographers: Bring a tripod and, if you can, visit at different times of day. Each season offers something unique — but winter, with snow-capped peaks and pastel skies, is especially enchanting.
Location: The houses are easy to spot while driving across Sommarøy. Just follow the main road — as you round the curve, the view suddenly opens up and the three houses appear like a dream on the horizon.
