Description

Added by Pierre-Luc Giroux

This adventure was more than awesome. We did that one hike that lead to a popular and amazing beach. (Kvalvika beach) Lofoten island is a place that I will never forget. Plus if you go during winter you might have the chance to see northern light if you got clear sky.

One of the hike is called Kvalvika Beach or you can hike Ryten peak which is more difficult then only going to the beach. In winter, norwegian people climb it with sky and go downhill skying after ward. Overall its an amazing hike with an awesome view. Be careful, it is really steep at the end. we took 3h round trip to do the hike but we did stop to take many picture on the way. To get there you have to drive 3km after fredvang. There is a small parking lot on the left sid eof the road.

Winter Hike to Kvalvika Beach

From the parking lot walk across the road to the small sign indicating which way the trail begins through the bushes. The beginning of the trail heads through the birch forest and can be boggy in places. In the winter the trail can be hard to follow at times but on average stay to the right and you should be able to follow the path. After 10-15 minutes you will likely start clearing the trees a...

Stroll along Skagsanden Beach

Skagsanden is one the small and beautiful beaches that seem to be everywhere in the Lofoten area of Norway. Skagsanden is only a few yards from the parking lot, which makes access very easy. Skasgaden is perhaps best known for the intricate patterns in the sand where a small stream flows into the ocean. One could spend hours walking and seeing new patterns/angles the entire time. The rest of th...

Hike to Helvetestinden

In the town of Reine in the Lofoten Islands, you need to take the small ferry to Vindstad. There is one that leaves at 10:30 in the morning. Most people on that ferry will be headed to Bunes Beach, which you will be able to see from the Helvetestinden summit. Once at the dock, you will follow the trail to the right through the village. Near the end of the fjord, you will see the path split to g...

Hike to the top of Offersøykammen

Like many of the hikes on the Lofoten Islands, there is no official trail or trailhead for this hike. To find it, take the E10 highway out of Leknes toward Å for about 6.5km. Keep your eyes pealed for a small trail on the north side of highway, and there is room for 3-4 cars to park on the side of the road here. If you make it to the tunnel, you’ve gone to far. This location marks the trail, an...
