3 Epic Hikes You Need to Do on Norway’s Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands are among the most remote places you can visit in Norway—a small, dramatic archipelago off the country’s northwest coast. These rugged islands jut straight out of the sea, with jagged peaks that soar more than 3,500 feet high. As you’d expect, the best hiking trails here take full advantage of that elevation, and the views are nothing short of spectacular.

Here’s everything you need to know about hiking in Lofoten, plus the top hikes to check out.
