Mountain Paths at Vikten

Vikten has more to offer than artists and architectonic statements. Just a step away from the buildings, you can enjoy the unique nature, with moraines created during the ice melting, and an infinite number of sculptures in stone, shaped by sea and ice. Take a walk along the beach, or a take village tour – notice how green the grass is, pick flowers, breathe in the sea smell, and observe the sheep on the mountain. Would you like more serious challenges? Follow one of the mountain paths.

Festvagtind Hike

The hike starts with the parkinglot in Festvag. Walk 100 m in direction Henningsvaer, take a turn to the right and follow the trail. It`s steep, but the view is amazing.

Reviewed By watchviking

Hiking up is definitely worth the effort. If you dont dare to go all the way up: there is incredible views to be seen in the midsection of the trail in ”heiavannet viewpoint” as well. If you are climbing all the way you should still visit this midsection viewpoint and possibly swim in the lake located up there. Locals said that I could also drink the water from the lake beside ”hieavannet” and I did top my bottles there! :) All the way to the top awaits a view that is really worth the trouble of getting up there. To me it took about 2h to climb all the way up. Would probably reserve 3-4h total so you can rest and take in the view as well. There is paid parking at the starting point. From the midsection up the trail is more tricky. If it is raining be extra careful.

Glomtinden

Reviewed By Looking_for_charme - Bergen, Norway

This hike is one of the easiest hike in Lofoten, but do provide a very good view. Not a far drive from Svolvær or Henningsvær.
