Route overview

Three guided ridge days build from a protected shoulder to a longer traverse. Every day has a lower coastal alternative, but participants should arrive ready for sustained ascent.

Meeting point

Meet outside Finnsnes ferry terminal at 16:30 on day one for the shared transfer to the island base.

5 days

A route with breathing room

  1. Day 1

    Island orientation

    Transfer from the ferry, check equipment, and read the next four days against a large route map and the current forecast.

  2. Days 2–3

    Shoulders and saddles

    Complete two progressive ridge walks, practicing pace, foot placement, and turnaround decisions on broken terrain.

  3. Days 4–5

    Traverse and return

    Take the longest weather-safe line between two valleys, then finish with a short coastal recovery walk before the ferry transfer.

Included

  • Four nights in a small coastal lodge
  • Breakfasts, three packed lunches, and three dinners
  • Guided ridge program with daily route and conditions briefings
  • Transfers between Finnsnes, the lodge, and scheduled trailheads

Before you decide
