Tour overview

This 7-day trip explores the jagged peaks and white beaches of the Lofoten Islands on foot, in a group of no more than twelve with a local leader. You stay two nights in a hotel in Svolvær and four in traditional fishermen's rorbu cabins, with breakfast every day.

From Svolvær you climb the Devil's Staircase to Fløya and the Djevelporten rock, then take a coastal ferry to Stamsund for a peak-to-peak ridge walk with views across the islands.

In Reine you climb the steep Sherpa steps of Reinebringen for the famous view over the village, and take a boat to Vinstad to walk to Bunes Beach. On the way back to Svolvær you visit an organic goat-cheese farm for a tasting.
