First of all: Don’t overthink it. As you mentioned, the weather is unpredictable, and it can change very often within 3 weeks. Right now, they predict snow at 700 m in the north for the weekend 🙃
Go for Lofoten! First, the only alternative to go north is the busy E6. Second, Lofoten are beautiful in all kind of weather. I’ve been there twice and…

Wow! First of all thanks so much of the complete and described answer. I really appreciate it and consider all the options you gave me💖 specially taken a hutigurten to come back to the flight point of the end of the trip.
