Sørvågen is built around its proximity to the sea. The slightly over 400 residents live closely with the elements of nature. In the background looms the Lofoten Wall and the iconic mountain, Støvla. Beyond the sea, the Vestfjorden sparkles along with the famous Moskstraumen. Lofoten's dramatic mountain formations rise from the sea and tower over the waves.

 

The village has both a school, grocery stores, fish processing plants, guest docks, a post office, restaurant, and pub.

Traditionally, the main economic activity has been fishing, as evidenced by the many fishermen's cabins. The culture in Sørvågen has been shaped by fishermen and life close to the elements. At the same time, tourism has become a significant part of the economy. People from all over the world come to Sørvågen to experience summit hikes, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, cycling, northern lights safaris, RIB safaris, and fishing.

 

The old fishermen's cabins are an example of this duality. They are used both for their original purpose by the fishermen in the village, but many have also been converted into accommodations for visitors.
