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.

Boardwalk to Ryten Summit

Highlight • Trail

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.

Boardwalk through the bog

Highlight • Trail

The boardwalks through the wet meadows are very helpful; otherwise, the summits would be inaccessible and footwear would be completely wet.
