8 nouveaux topos de randonnées sont disponibles gratuitement et accessibles pour les utilisateurs enregistrés.

Tous les topos que nous proposons sont réalisés par notre équipe, ce qui veut dire que chaque randonnée est préalablement testée et que toutes les informations (tracés gps, indications topographiques, etc.) sont collectés et vérifiés par nous même.

Boat Shuttle

Reine/Vindstad/Kjerkfjord

forsfjord vindstad

If you want to go from Forsfjord power station to Vindstad (or vice versa), and you don’t want to rely on the boat shuttle MS Fjordkyss, it is now possible to do it by foot.

We provide GPX track, map and the description (in french only) for the section connecting Vindstad to Forsfjord. This new possibility is particularly interesting for hikers engaged in the great crossing of the Lofoten Islands trek.

The Lofoten archipelago is located above the Arctic Circle, the result of this situation is a period of permanent days in summer and at the opposite a period of permanent night in winter (polar night).

To organize properly your trips and expedition in this region, it is important to take this phenomenon into account due to the high latitude. Discover our sunset/sunrise calendar
