This is a short hike that does not pose any real problems. It begins in the Slydalen Valley where there are a few isolated farms and takes you to Blåtiden at altitude 604m. The peak is part of the range that overlooks Vestfjord and crosses the large island of Vestvågøya. A magnificent view awaits you at the peak: the fabulous panoramic view over the fjord to the south and the sea to the north gives the peak its name: Blåtiden (“blue peak”).
