Hiking in Lofoten

This July 2024 hike in Lofoten started as a thru-hike from Sörvågen to Svolvaer, but on Day 5 I decided to make a hostel in Stamsund my base camp, and over the remaining 7 days I instead did 5 day-hikes to 5 different peaks: Ryten, Dalstuva, Flakstadtinden, Reinebringen and Festvågtinden.

One of my goals when planning this trip was to camp on at least one peak, which I did on Munken's North Peak (770m). The subsequent switch to day-hikes then spared me from carrying my full 18kg backpack up/down 5 more peaks.

The hiking during the first 5 days wasn't easy, but well compensated by the humbling and peaceful feeling of being in such fantastic nature.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Cheers!

P.S. I happily spotted Orca's swimming near Hamnöy, but didn't get any footage.
