Glomtinden hike

Glomtinden is a balanced, rewarding hike that offers a peaceful alternative to Lofoten’s more popular summits. The trail climbs gradually through open terrain before steepening slightly near the top. Along the way you’ll see dramatic ridgelines, calm water inlets, and the mountains behind Svolvær. This is a fantastic mid-level option for guests wanting a beautiful hike without overly technical sections. The summit feels spacious, making it ideal for photography or a snack break while taking in the view.

  • Time required: 2.5–3 hours return
  • Difficulty: Medium (Hard in winter)
  • Elevation: ~419 m
  • Distance: ~4 km return
  • Drive from Lyngvær: ~5 minutes to trail start.

Good to know

Hiking shoes/boots, windproof layer, spikes in winter.

Great choice for a calm day when you want views but less exposure.

Lofoten’s weather and conditions change quickly, and trails can be steep, wet, icy, or snow-covered depending on the season. Only choose hikes that match your experience level, check the weather forecast before starting, and turn back if conditions feel unsafe. Winter routes often require spikes or snow gear, and some hikes should only be done with an experienced guide. Always bring warm layers, proper footwear, food, water, and a charged phone.
