reine

Reine is a fishing village and tourist destination in Moskenes Municipality, Nordland county, Norway. It lies at the southern end of the island of Moskenesøya along the Reinefjorden in the Lofoten archipelago. The village is renowned for its scenery, with rugged peaks rising above the fjord and a harbor lined with traditional red fishermen’s huts.

Historically tied to cod and whitefish fisheries, Reine today combines active fishing with tourism. The harbor remains a working quay while also serving visitors. The area draws travelers for its landscapes, sunsets, and access to hiking routes, including Reinebringen, a steep climb offering expansive views over the village, fjord, and surrounding mountains. Traditional rorbuer, fishermen’s cabins, provide lodging for seasonal visitors.

Key landmarks include Reine Church, the local parish church, and the village quay. The landscape around Reine is emblematic of the Lofoten region, featuring sheltered coves, gravel beaches, and dramatic peaks.

Reine is connected by road via the European route E10 and by ferry services, with a service linking Bodø to Moskenes that provides access to the village by road. The climate is maritime subarctic, with cool summers and relatively mild winters compared with inland Norway.
