Flesnes is a beautiful and peaceful village nestled on the western shore of Gullesfjord in Kvæfjord municipality, surrounded by the dramatic natural landscapes of Northern Norway. Encircled by mountains, fjords, and a string of protective islets, Flesnes has long been known as a safe and sheltered harbour – a natural stop for seafarers, and a quiet haven for locals and visitors alike.

The scenery here shifts gently between lush meadows and calm forest patches, while a cool breeze from the fjord carries birdsong and the soft murmuring of the Storelva river, which winds down through the Flesnes valley to meet the sea. Though the salmon that once filled the river have become fewer over the years, the village still bears the character of a once-thriving farming and fishing community.

Today, agriculture continues in Flesnes – vegetables, strawberries and rich green grass grow in the fertile soil. Small farms and homes with fjord views dot the landscape, offering a tranquil, close-to-nature lifestyle in rhythm with the sea and the seasons.

Flesnes is also an important local hub, with a car ferry connecting it to Refsnes – one of the busiest ferry routes in Troms County. By the ferry quay, there’s a small marina and guest dock, making it a natural gathering point for both local traffic and travellers passing through.

Flesnes is a place where past and future live side by side. It is a village with room for silence, for community, and for new beginnings – in the very heart of Northern Norway’s majestic coastal landscape.
