Winter Hiking & Snowshoeing
Winter in Vesterålen offers a rare kind of stillness — snow-covered peaks, silent forests and crisp coastal air. Join us on a guided winter hike to experience this landscape safely and at a pace that suits you. From shorter, less demanding walks through birch forests and along the coast, to longer ridge and summit trips, the local area has something to offer for all abilities.
Depending on conditions, the tour is done on snowshoes, with crampons or hiking boots used when more suitable. Your guide will choose the best route for the day, ensuring a rewarding experience — whether you’re walking quietly through sleeping woodland or reaching a viewpoint surrounded by a sea of snow-covered mountains.
