The terrain is friendly and well-suited for those who like to hike but don’t want to do the most challenging hikes. Going through Kvalvika beach, Ryten appears as a massive cliff rising to a height of 543 meters directly from the sea.

Reinebringen is arguably the most popular hike in the Lofoten Islands. A short but steep trail leads up the mountainside to a ridge high above Reine village. Instagram has been flooded with pictures of the spectacular views over the village and the surrounding coast.

The summit of Haheia is the second-highest peak on the Vaeroy Island. It is also the only peak in the archipelago that has a road, which is private and leads to a NATO radar installation. Outside of this little bit of civilization, the wide-open landscapes you will go through are absolutely magnificent.
