View of the Lofoten Fjords

Highlight • Viewpoint

Norway has some of the most spectacular fjords in the world. Here, you can enjoy a panoramic view over the rugged islands and glistening water that define this landscape.

Tip by

3.15 km

Please use the designated paths, as the vegetation has already been badly damaged by the crowds.
For a relatively quiet visit to the summit (Ryten) and the beach, it is recommended to start early in the morning.

Highlight • Lake

Due to Escherichia coli infestation, you should not drink water in the stream that flows from the lake towards the beach (not even with a water filter) as of 07/2023

Kvalvika Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach can only be reached on foot via a very rocky ascent and descent - a very popular hike - one is not alone on the road. On the beach there are many places for an overnight stay in the tent.

View of Kvalvika Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Kvalvika Beach is one of the most dramatic beaches you're ever likely to see. Surrounded by towering rock walls, only accessible on foot and boasting golden sands, it's no wonder it's become such a popular objective during the peak season. This view on the hike towards Selfjord Bay shows Kvalvika at its best.
