Welcome to Snefjord! It has been bustling with life for hundreds of years and fishing has been the main industry to this day. If there were not enough fish in the sea before, several fish farms have been established out in the beautiful Snefjord. And in the middle of this fjord lies the idyllic pearl, Snefjordholmen. The village consists mostly of pensioners now, but has previously had a post office, tavern, bank, shop, school and a fish farm. Although these have disappeared, the village has several active associations that organize various gatherings for both residents and other visitors and tourists The village was quite isolated until 1976. When a ferry connection was established with Havøysund. The county road to Kokelv opened the year before, but It was not until 1988 that the road to Havøysund was opened and the ferry route closed. Today, tourists visit the beautiful village in search of experiences, both visual and physical. Many people also try their luck in the beautiful Snefjord river, where salmon, sea trout and sea char can be caught. The village is also the location of the annual festival ‘The Snefjord Highland Games’, where the main objective is the dissemination of Sami and Scottish art and culture.
