The Eltofttuva hike near Leknes in Lofoten offers some of the best hiking in the Lofoten Islands. It’s a relatively easy hike (though not without some steeper sections) and offers incredible views of lakes, fjords and super impressive mountains. It’s also one of the quieter hikes in Lofoten and you’re unlikely to see the crowds…
The Heia and Festvagtind hike is the best Henningsvaer hike and one of the best hikes in the Lofoten Islands. As you climb steeply up to the summit of this hike, you’ll get some incredible views out over Henningsvaer; a pretty fishing village in Lofoten Norway. There’s also a lake and plenty of places to…
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,…

Obviously, there’s the sea all around but white sandy beaches were not something I’d expected. During our 5 and a half weeks…
