Hiking on Andøya

The island of Andøya features sharp contrasts between the open sea, steep mountains and flat cloudberry marshes. Norwegian Scenic Route Andøya follows the western coastline along the open sea and offers a number of great experiences. We recommend a visit to the beach to feel the sand between your toes, or a hike up the mountain to feel the cold Arctic breeze from the Norwegian Sea. In cooperation with Outtt we have made a hiking guide for Andøya that contains selected experiences. The hikes are of varying levels of difficulty, ranging from strenuous challenges to easy hikes that will suit most people.

Hiking opportunities on Senja

Norwegian Scenic Route Senja and the viewpoints along the road are a good place to start when you wish to experience Senja, but to get to know this beautiful wild island properly, we recommend using your own two feet.
