Sail through Norway’s stunning Lofoten Islands and hike its most iconic peaks on this 8-day hike and sail adventure - start and end inSvolvær.Each day, we drop anchor in a new location and set off on foot to explore wild ridgelines, remote summits, and dramatic alpine trails. From the quiet charm of Skrova to the majestic heights of Møysalen, this trip offers a unique way to hike in Norway. It’s the perfect blend of sea and mountain, shared with a small group of passionate outdoor enthusiasts.

Itinerary

We meet in Svolvær harbour at 4 PM, where we get to know the group and board our sailboat. After a safety briefing and gear check, we set sail for a short cruise to Skrova Island. Once anchored, we enjoy our first dinner on board and prepare for the adventure ahead.
We start our hiking journey with a choice between Lille Molla or Store Molla, two uninhabited islands east of Skrova. Lille Molla is more remote and less visited, while Store Molla offers higher elevation and panoramic views. Distance: 6–8 km | Elevation gain: 400–700 m | Time: 3–5 hrs
We sail north toward Austvågøya and tackle one of Lofoten’s impressive alpine peaks—Geitgallien or Higravstindan. These are among the highest in the Lofoten, offering steep ascents and rewarding summit views over fjords and islands. Distance: 8–10 km | Elevation gain: 900–1100 m | Time: 6–8 hrs
We drop anchor near Trollfjorden or Raftsundet, home to sharp ridges and challenging summits. Depending on the weather and group level, we hike to one of the nearby 1000+ meter peaks. We end the day with a well-earned sauna session near Trollfjorden, if available. Distance: 10–12 km | Elevation gain: 1000+ m | Time: 7–9 hrs
Weather depending, we either explore the Svartsundtindan - known for their jagged alpine shapes or enjoy a relaxing day of sailing southward toward Møysalen National Park, soaking in the beauty of Norway’s rugged coast. Distance (hiking option): 6–9 km | Elevation gain: 500–800 m | Time: 4–6 hrs Sailing option: All-day sail
Today we hike to the summit of Møysalen, the highest peak in the region. This is one of the most scenic hikes in Norway, taking us through forest, alpine terrain, and snow patches. From the top, we enjoy sweeping views over the Lofoten and Vesterålen. Distance: 14 km | Elevation gain: 1200 m | Time: 7–9 hrs
We spend the day sailing back to Svolvær, reflecting on the week's adventures. Depending on wind and weather, we may stop for a swim or short walk along the way.
We say farewell to our hiking buddies and leave the boat in Svolvær harbour at 10 AM. It's the end of a wild and unforgettable hike and sail trip in the Lofoten Islands.
