Landscape and livelihoods in Lavangen

Published: Updated by provider: Last checked:
Lavangen/Loabák lies where a narrow fjord becomes Spansdalen, with Tennevoll at the meeting of sea and valley. Small farms follow the usable patches of land, while high mountains bound the settlements and provide reindeer grazing.
Sámi, Kven and Norwegian histories meet here. Spansdalen and Fossbakken have particularly strong Sámi connections, and language and cultural work make this heritage visible in the small community today.
