If you’re looking for Lofoten hikes that don’t get super busy, Delp and Matmora in Lofoten could be a good option for you.

Kleppstadheia in the Lofoten Islands was the first hike we did in Lofoten (and there ended up being many!). We hike this trail on a pretty cloudy and wet day but the views were still very impressive. We didn’t see a single soul on the trail apart from some ptarmigans nesting in the rocks on…
Just around the corner from our Airbnb during our Lofoten trip was Tjeldbergtind. Unlike a lot of other hikes in Lofoten, this is an easy hike in Lofoten (similar to Kleppstadheia) that doesn’t have too much exposure or steep stairs. We ended up doing the Tjeldbergtind hike a couple of times, once before the snow,…

While living in Vancouver we’d often go up to Whistler at the weekend, whether to go on some of Whistler’s best hikes, to do things other than skiing at Whistler, but, my favorite, to actually go skiing at Whistler Blackcomb! One of my favorite days was recently when we spent more time on Blackcomb Mountain…
