What Does the Day Look Like?

Your guide will connect with you on the morning of your activity, either over breakfast or via WhatsApp. Together, you’ll discuss your interests, fitness, experience and any injuries or considerations, before deciding on a route.

We take one of Hattvika’s comfortable vehicles and set out on our adventure at the desired time.

Weather, seasonal conditions and road accessibility all play a part in where you go. With a flexible approach and plenty of local knowledge, your guide will help find the right adventure for the day.

Where Can We Hike?

From Lofoten’s iconic summits to quieter trails tucked away from the crowds, the possibilities are vast. You might have a particular hike in mind, or leave it to your guide to choose a route suited to the conditions and your interests.

We explore classics such as Ryten, Kvalvika Beach, Offersøykammen, Mannen, Reinebringen and Høven, as well as lesser-known trails where you can experience Lofoten’s wilderness away from the beaten track.

Prefer a leisurely walk over a challenging hike? We can do that too. Our guides can suggest scenic routes where fitness and mobility are less of a consideration, allowing you to enjoy the landscape at a gentler pace.

What Seasons Can I Hike?

We hike throughout the year, with each season offering a different perspective on Lofoten. From summer’s midnight sun to autumn’s changing colours and winter’s snow-covered peaks, there’s always something to explore.

In the winter, our hike may turn into a snowshoeing adventure, in which case we provide the snow shoes.

As the locals say, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing! That said, conditions can influence which routes are suitable. During winter, hikes may become snowshoe adventures, offering a different way to experience the Arctic landscape.

Rain, wind, sunshine or snow, our guides assess the conditions and adapt the experience accordingly.
