The opinion of Aventure Nordique
Immerse yourself in the spectacular wilderness of Northern Norway with Cicerone's “Hiking in Norway - North”. This book is an indispensable companion for passionate hikers seeking unique adventures in this region of northern Europe, between majestic fjords, rugged mountains and vast arctic plateaus.
Guidebook to trekking in Norway above the Arctic Circle, including the Lofoten Islands, the mountains around Narvik and Ofotfjord, Tromso and the Troms region, and Finnmarksvidda in the far north east. Treks range from 48 to 165km in length and take between four and ten days to walk. Includes 1:100,000 maps, itineraries and accommodation guide.
Features:
- Seasons: Due to the northern latitude, trails are viable for a relatively short season between early July (mid June for Lofoten Islands) and mid September.
- Centres: Narvik, Abisko (Sweden), Sørvågen, Leknes, Karasjok, Alta
- Difficulty: All the trails are non-technical in nature with no specialist skills required, but experience of navigation and multi-day hiking are essential. Residual, easy angled snow at elevation, especially early in the season, may require confidence.
- Must See: Fjords and peaks of the magnificent Lofoten Islands; remote wilderness of Inner Troms; rolling tundra of Finnmarksvidda; Arctic flora and fauna; 24-hour daylight
