Boots, windproof layers, gloves, plenty of water.

Go only in stable weather — visibility is key for this hike. Avoid on windy or foggy days — ridge navigation becomes unsafe.

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.
