The Sherpa stairway to the wedged-boulder 'Devil's Gate' above Svolvær.
The trailhead is near Svolvær in Lofoten, Nordland. The walk is 5 km with 590 m of ascent and takes 3 to 4 hrs, and the usual season is June to September. The trailhead sits on the Lofoten scenic route itself.
Why it's loved. Dramatic town-and-sea views and the famous Devil's Gate jump shot.
Season: June to September
