EXPLORE THE FAROE ISLANDS

ALPA of Switzerland partners with Better Moments - Your chance to try ALPA cameras in beautiful workshop destinations

“Far out in the radiant ocean glinting like quicksilver there lies a solitary little lead-coloured land”
The famous Faroese writer William Heinesen.

The Faroe Islands present a dramatic landscape with ever-changing shades of green. They are situated in the heart of the Gulf Stream, and the stunning 18 volcanic islands are rugged and rocky and were voted best island destination in the world in a survey of 111 island communities made by National Geographic Traveller. The Faroe Islands will impress you deeply, both as a traveller and photographer.

Since the best light is during the evening and night hours, we will chase our motives in these very hours – the late evening and night. At these moments, the light is saturated with pink red colors, and the mighty landscapes will appear in the most beautiful and dramatic way.

Highlights

• Explore the fascinating landscape of the Faroe Islands
• Discover both the northern and southern islands
• Enjoy the view from the Faroe Island’s highest mountain (882 metres)
