Ballstad
One of the larger fishing villages in Norway's Lofoten archipelago, Ballstad sits on a small island at the southwestern tip of Vestvågøya where Buksnesfjorden meets Vestfjorden, with the mountain Skottinden rising to the west. The combination of open water, mountain terrain, and scenic surrounds makes it a draw for those exploring the Lofoten islands independently.
