Description

This beautiful isolated mountain range stands to the north-west of the island of Vestvågøya, a little off the main E10 road. Hikers here are few and far between despite the fact that the area is very beautiful and offers a wide range of panoramic views. The hike is possible either as a return trip or in a loop returning via the north shore of Lake Dalvatnet.
