Drone rules in Lofoten Islands
Yes, you can fly your drone but following these rules.
Keep at least 5 km distance from airports and never fly near accident areas.
Always fly less than 120 meters from the ground in all directions and observe applicable safety distances – i.e., 120 meters from the nearest physical point that’s below the drone.
Respect other people’s privacy and follow the GDPR rules when taking photos or videos of others, see datatilsynet.no for more info.
