Vesterålen's highest peak at 1,262 m, deep in a national park.
The trailhead is near Holmstad in Vesterålen, Nordland, about 150 km from Tromsø. The walk is 14 km with 1250 m of ascent and takes 9 to 12 hrs, and the usual season is July to September. The closest scenic drive is the Andøya route, roughly 19 km away.
Why it's loved. A remote, demanding summit for those who want true wilderness.
Season: July to September
