Hi everyone,

We're planning a trip to Tromsø and Lofoten from 22 to 28 March, and I'd love your opinion on whether the Lofoten part is realistic for that time of year. (4 nights = 2 in Hamnøya + 2 in Svolvær )

• 24 March: pick up a rental car at Leknes airport, then drive to Hamnøya for the night
• 25 March: day trip from Hamnøya to Å and back
• 26 March: drive the E10 from Hamnøya to Svolvær
• 27 March: driving around the Svolvær area
• 28 March: back to Leknes,

That's about 350-400 km of driving in total alway using E10.

I have driven sometimes in winter conditions (snow, ice), but never so many kms in few days

Does it take sense to rent a car to do this itinerary considering potential route conditions? If not, what would be the recommmended alternatives? Stay in a single place and visit the island using organized tours?

Thanks,
