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. It’s one of the most photographed spots on the island. Whether you’re a photographer chasing that perfect shot, a romantic looking for dreamy views, 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.
