The Lofoten are a chain of islands in the North of Norway. The area is known for its spectacular mountains which rise straight up from the water at dramatic angles. With breathtaking panoramic views all around, it is no wonder that the Lofoten Islands are a hiking paradise. Before we show the incredible hikes in this video, we also tackle the hiking conditions of this area (such as the weather conditions, terrain, and difficulty).

Great work on documenting the details, I really appreciate all the notes you've added in your video, so many hikers feel the need to hide the details from everyone but I really appreciated your details specially because I plan on visiting Lofoten this year, you actually helped me plan much easier. I applaud you for making all hikes and I enjoyed your videography and narration of the your trip.

@naturalflow157 Год назад

My dear soul, this is truly an amazing video, :) I absolutely love how calming and soothing it is to just press play and be taken on this hiking journey with you. My life has been very stressful lately, with a lot of transformation and changes, and this is something I needed to help my mind to be at ease more. You also remind me to get out there into nature and find more calming time with mother nature. Which is something I used to do way more and got caught too much in city life. Sending much love, and thank you for sharing it with us :)

Thank you for spending time on safety measures ❤️ extra clothes and windproof layer is so important, it can get cold real fast. I live in Tromsø but visit close friends in lofoten often.

I feel like we are following you two around the world! In 2022, we went to the Canadian Rockies, including Assiniboine. And we are planning for Lofoten in 2024 so I was so glad to see your video! How crowded would you say it is there? Seems like you were almost alone on your hikes. I also really appreciate your tips on making the hikes easier - I was too scared to do some of the Kananaskis hikes due to exposure so I like to hear alternatives while still getting incredible views. Thank you!

@worldwildhearts Год назад

Haha nice! The Lofoten are beautiful! The hikes are generally a lot shorter in distance there than in the Canadian Rockies. It wasn't too crowded when we were there (surprisingly because it was August so high season). I think there are so many trails there that it doesn't get too busy on most of them. The only busy trails were Reinebringen (that's the most famous hike in teh area) and Kvalvika - but it didn't bother us too much as we still had our own space.

@bapicean1868 4 месяца назад

Amazing video, you drone shots were amazing. Maybe make a tutorial on how you do that? would be great

@worldwildhearts 4 месяца назад

Turorial on how to made cool drone shots?

@marybuidheas Год назад

fantastic video and what an amazing place. How easy is it to get to the Lofoten Islands via pubic transport from Tromso?

@worldwildhearts Год назад

We don't think it's that easy. Because you'll have to take a ferry at some point... There might be some buses that run between the bigger cities in the Lofoten (like Svolvaer and Henningsvaer), but it's very limited. Definitely recommend having your own vehicle or going on an arranged tour.

@arsipkable 11 месяцев назад

Great work. I will be going Lofoten this August and have time only for 3 hikes. Any suggestions for top 3?

@worldwildhearts 11 месяцев назад

It's a hard choice! But our personal preference would probably be: 1. Reinebringen (the view is just unmatched with any other view you'll find... though it gets busy) 2. Offersøykammen (the trail was easier, grassy, and more quiet 3. Kvalvika & Ryten (we liked the variety of this trail, it was longer in distance so felt more like a real hike to us)

@arsipkable 11 месяцев назад

@@worldwildhearts Thankyou very much. Thats what I thought based on video.

@travelchimps6637 Год назад

Such an informative video, u think Reinebringen hike would be accessible in winter time (February) ?

@worldwildhearts Год назад

Might be very very snowy up there! Not sure the trail is open, you will need ice cleats because it would be too dangerous if you don’t have them

@travelchimps6637 Год назад

Gotcha, thank u!

@rjtravels3541 Год назад

Hi. I loved this video. I’m not the strongest hiker. If you were to recommend one of the best medium hikes to do as a challenge for a beginner which would you suggest? I thought I could do the two easy and one medium and then my son who is a good hiker could do two more (5/6 day trip in the area). Also is there any hard/medium hike that has a town near by I could enjoy while he’s hiking.

@worldwildhearts Год назад

Thank you! I’d say definitely hike to Ytresand. It’s easy and breathtaking. A medium one you can’t miss is Offersøykammen. The trail isn’t very long, but it can get muddy! Reinebringen is the most famous / classic view in all of the Lofoten so I’d highly recommend adding that one as well. It’s steep but not technical as it’s all stairs. You could enjoy the views from the town of Reine below when your son hikes that one.

Thank you very much amazing guide. For example when you say “3h total” you mean 3h return? Meaning 1.5H each way? I’m referring to the Festvagtind…

@worldwildhearts 5 месяцев назад

Yes indeed! total means the entire time taken. So maybe it's 2 hours up and 1 down or so!

Hi I love yours videos! I would like to know if there are some fees for the parking near the beginning of the hikes. If its yes, how can we pay? (Cash, credit...) Thanks!!!!!!

@worldwildhearts Год назад

We never carried any cash in Norway! Most of the parking lots don’t charge a fee. Some do and there’s usually a machine you can pay at with your credit card. We downloaded the App “easy park” to pay for parking (and works with your credit card). It’s used everywhere in Norway it seems!

@dggarcia89 7 месяцев назад

Do you think it's possible to do some of the easier hikes during the last week of March

@worldwildhearts 6 месяцев назад

Maybe the Uttakleiv To Haukland and Ytresand trails would be possible. I think depending if all roads are open. Also would recommend to bring cleats for snowy conditions! That will help with grip!

@jjbax3 Год назад

Are any of these hikes accessible/possible during February?

@worldwildhearts Год назад

June, July, August and September are the safe bet. Maybe some of the easier trails could be accessible with snowshoes but definitely be careful! Yttersand and Uttakleiv to Haukland are fairly easy trails
