Lofoten in May

Hi David,

I have a 30F rated sleeping back. Would it be ok, or shall I go for a 15-20? Planning to visit in May(18-25) and stay in tents on the mountains, too. Also have a T.rest sleeping pad with R value of 3.

Big thanks in advance!

Bonjour Clément,

Oui il est possible de randonner aux îles Lofoten début mai. Les jours sont permanents à ce moment là de l'année et il fait souvent assez beau mais il faut aussi compter sur des températures encore basses (entre 5°C et 8°C) et, du coup, des restes de neige à basse altitude.

Bonne randonnée,

Hello i'm Clément i from France and with my girlfriend we coming to Oslo the 11 of May and after i would like to go to the North ! It 's possible to track in a lofotens in this time ?

Thank you very much David!

I'm wondering would I need any spefic equipment to hike if there is still snow on top of the mountians in some places (like crampons)?

Hei,

I believe it is the best time of the year, although it can be a bit fresh some time. There is hardly no tourists, generally the weather is nice and dry, and there is still snow on the mountains top.

Welcome to the Lofoten
