This is how Kabelvåg was described in a tourist brochure published in 1932: Kabelvåg has a latitude of 68° 2´ North and is situated on the southern coast of the island of Austvågøy, in the abundant island`s realm of Lofoten. The town is set in cheerful surroundings and is shielded by tall and wild mountains in the north. The blue-green waves of the Vestfjord wash ashore here, and the Midnight Sun - the gem of North Norway - honours us with its pre-sence from May 26 to July 19. Kabelvåg is located in one of the many bays, (norw. "våg") that have given rise to the name of the borough of Vågan. Vågan is one of the oldest recorded names in the history of Norway, and the foundation of Kabelvåg was based on the Norwegian Artic cod that return to the banks off the Lofoten Islands every year to spawn. Not far off Kabelvåg lies Hølla, the world´s most abundant fishing grounds, and in the months between February and April the town becomes such a unique hive of activity that it has to be seen to be believed. The natural setting of Kabelvåg provides the onlooker with a complete picture of the Lofoten Islands. Here, you will find wild, jagged mountain ranges and proud peaks like the Kongstinden, Ørntinden, Småtindene and the distinctive and legendary Vågakallen. You will find grassy mountain slopes, sheltered birch scrub, and well-cultivated lowland plains. There are few places in Norway that can offer such a wealth of scenic experiences. Even from the smaller hilltops you can look out across a whole new world, and in the clear, transparent almost phantasmagoric air you will have an amazing view from the easily accessible mountain summits, that is just as impressive, colourful and breathtaking, in both summer and winter. And this is just how it is today!

LOFOTEN RORBUFERIE
Lofoten Rorbuferie is a "rorbu" cabin resort consisting of old rorbu cabins built by the government in 1923 with a view to improving conditions for the fishermen. The rorbu cabins were restored in 1990 and have been preserved as far as possible in their original style.
	A holiday here is almost like staying in a living museum, but with modern conveniences and comfort. The seven buildings consist of 15 "rorbu" apartments each with 1-3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, shower and toilet. Each unit has from two to ten beds. Prices from NOK 500,- per cabin.
Lofoten Rorbuferie is set in idyllic surroundings near the breakwater in Kabelvåg. With our boat hire service and a distance of only 50 metres to the Vestfjord sea, you are all set for some wonderful fishing experiences.
	Storvågan, with the Lofoten Aquarium and the Espolin Gallery, is only one and a half kilometres away, and the open countryside, referred to as Kabelvågmarka, with its marked rambling trails and excellent fresh water fishing, is only a short walk away from the resort.
