Best cliff-hanger of a hike
8km (5 miles) round trip, 4 hours, moderate At the top of Norway’s charts of don’t-dare-look-down, gasp-out-loud, razor-edge rock formations is Pulpit Rock – a 604m-high (1981ft) finger of granite rock, hammered into shape by glacial forces during the last Ice Age. Jutting up above the blue ribbon of Lysefjord near Stavanger, this iconic fist of rock is phenomenally beautiful no matter the weather (rain, fog, snow – you name it). The good news: it isn’t as brutal to hike up as some of the cou...
Best summit climb
11km (17.5 miles) round trip, 5–7 hours, demanding We get it: you’ve made it all the way to the glacier-encrusted, mountain-rippled feast of a national park that is Jotunheimen("Home of the Giants"), so why wouldn’t you go the extra mile and clamber to the summit of Norway’s highest peak, 2469m (8100ft) Galdhøpiggen? Choose a good day and you’ll feel like a god surveying all creation from the top, with arresting views of Jotunheimen’s sea of dark, snow-dusted peaks and jewel-colored lakes and...
Best hike for fjord views
28km (17.5 miles) round trip, 10–12 hours, demanding You might imagine a rock with a name like Trolltunga(Troll’s Tongue) to be a bit of a beast and it is – but it’s also a beauty. In the country’s southwest, this vertiginous spur of rock rises 1180m (3871ft) above sea level, projecting into the void above the brilliant blue, mountain-rimmed Lake Ringedalsvatnet. Getting up here involves a gruelling, full-day ascent, but reaching the top is like standing at the edge of a diving board – scary...
Best easy hike
10km (6.2 miles) round trip, 2–3 hours, easy The "wow" never leaves your lips on this short-but-sweet hike on the island of Værøy (Vaeroy) in the Lofotenarchipelago. From the 451m (1480ft) summit of Håen, or Håheia, you might well ask yourself what magical forces were at play when this island was created. From here the view will leave you utterly speechless, taking in the island’s shaggy green cliffs that curve like a dragon’s backbone above scalloped bays of powder-white sand, fizzing into a...
Best boulder hike
11km (6.8 miles) round trip, 6–10 hours, demanding It’s often billed as a mountain climb but, trust us, that ain’t what it looks like. In a country full of mad rocks, 1084m (3556ft) Kjeragboltenis all-out bonkers: a glacial boulder jammed in a crevice between two heart-stoppingly sheer cliffs punching way above the true-blue expanse of Lysefjord. But if you’re up for a challenge and view that ranks among Norway’s most sublime, sign up right here. The hike can be steep, muddy and tough, with 8...
Best multi-day hike
50km (31 miles) round trip, 5 days, demanding Cabin-to-cabin is the way to go in the granddaddy of Norwegian national parks, Rondane, home to some of the country’s most splendid Alpine terrain. This five-day hike takes a headfirst dive into the remote, staggering wilderness of the 963-sq-km (372-sq-mile) national park, one of the last refuges of wild reindeer (and also home to bears, lynx, moose, musk ox and wolves). The trek is divided roughly up into 10km (6.2-mile) bite-sized chunks, takin...
Best long-distance hike
800km (497 miles), 45–50 days, demanding If you want to pit yourself against raw wilderness and bitter cold, push boundaries and relish utter solitude, this epic long-distance hike taking in the full sweep of the arctic north is for you, intrepid one. Beginning in Kautokeino in Northern Norway and ending in lakeside Sulitjelma on the Swedish border, the Nordkalottruta (Arctic Trail) is wholly deserving of the "once in a lifetime" tag. Ping-ponging across international borders 15 times and hea...
Best arctic ascent
Hiking 8.7km (5.4 miles) round trip; kayaking 5.4km (3.4 miles) round trip, 11 hours, moderate/demanding So you want to slip into the frostbitten shoes of a polar explorer for a day? Spitsbergen’s arctic challenge is for you. The target of this unforgettable day hike is the 928m (3045ft) peak of Hiortfjellet, which towers above the main settlement of Longyearbyen alongside a host of other bare, muscular, snow-streaked mountains. The summit (wow) commands out-of-this-world views of Spitsbergen...
Best day trek
10.3km (6.4 miles), 8 hours, demanding Ask a Norwegian to divulge the country’s best hikes and Romsdalseggen will invariably make the grade. Believe the hype: this full-day trek up to a knife-edge ridge is sensational. From the summit, you’ll be rewarded with top-of-the-beanstalk views of dark, ragged, snow-frosted mountains shooting up above the Romsdalen Valley and its snaking river. You’ll be greeted with front-row views of the Trollveggen (Troll Wall) too, the highest vertical mountain wa...
