About the region

In Lister, people, opportunities and diversity come together. Here, you’ll find towns and villages, mountains and fjords, sea and sky – and a region that offers both tranquillity and momentum. Lister is the place for those who want to live close to nature, close to people and right at the heart of the future.

We are six municipalities, but one community – united by collaboration, initiative and a shared determination to move forward together. Here, the distance from idea to action is short, and there is room both to shape the society around you and to make space for what matters to you.

In Lister, industry, technology and energy go hand in hand with culture, care and craftsmanship. You'll find high-growth companies, local food producers, international environments and committed entrepreneurs - all with solid roots and an eye to the future.

Cultural life is thriving with festivals, volunteering, music and art. Hiking trails wind through forests and moors, the coastline beckons with rocky outcrops and beaches, and everyday life holds both pulse and breathing space. Here you can find freedom - and a sense of belonging.

Move to a smaller place, to live a bigger life. Live in Lister and experience the feeling of belonging. Here it's possible to bet - and possible to land.
