All the routes lie above the Arctic Circle and explore some of the most dramatic and remote landscapes of the Lofoten Islands, Narvik, Ofotfjorden, Troms and Finnmarksvidda.<\/p>\n<p>The treks range from 48 to 165km and take between 4 and 10 days to complete. They offer a remarkable variety of landscapes, from the steep mountains and coastline of Lofoten to open tundra, deep fjords and the wilderness of Europe\u2019s far north. Some routes also cross into Sweden or Finland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Five multi-day hikes above the Arctic Circle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The guide contains detailed descriptions of five independent long-distance treks, each offering different landscapes, challenges and accommodation options:<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Lofoten Long Crossing through Lofoten\u2019s mountain and island landscapes<br \/>\nThe Mountains of Narvik around the northern Norwegian town of Narvik<br \/>\nThe Mountains of Ofotfjorden above the dramatic Ofotfjord<br \/>\nThe Troms Border Trail through the remote borderlands of Troms<br \/>\nFinnmarksvidda across one of Europe\u2019s largest mountain plateaus\n<\/p>\n<p>The routes are mainly linear, but several include alternative stages or options for adjusting the distance and itinerary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maps, GPX files and stage descriptions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each trek is divided into manageable daily stages with detailed route descriptions and 1:100,000 maps. The book also contains 1:500,000 overview maps, route summaries, stage-planning information and access to downloadable GPX files for GPS devices or smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>The guide provides practical information about reaching and leaving the routes by public transport, including buses and ferries. It also contains listings for Norwegian Trekking Association huts, campsites, facilities and wild-camping opportunities along the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For experienced hikers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The routes cross mountains, fjords, islands, tundra and remote wilderness. They are best suited to experienced hikers and backpackers with good fitness, strong navigation skills and experience of changeable weather and challenging terrain.<\/p>\n<p>Snow can remain at higher elevations well into summer, and some stages cross remote areas with few facilities. Careful planning, suitable equipment and the ability to navigate independently are therefore essential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Midnight sun and a short hiking season<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The recommended hiking season is generally from early June to mid-September, although conditions vary according to snow cover, elevation and weather. From mid-May to mid-July, much of the region experiences the midnight sun and continuous daylight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Full title:<\/strong> Hiking in Norway \u2013 North: Trekking Above the Arctic Circle<br \/>\n<strong>Area:<\/strong> Northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle<br \/>\n<strong>Regions covered:<\/strong> Lofoten, Narvik, Ofotfjorden, Troms and Finnmarksvidda<br \/>\n<strong>Number of treks:<\/strong> 5 multi-day routes<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> 4\u201310 days per trek<br \/>\n<strong>Distance:<\/strong> 48\u2013165km per trek<br \/>\n<strong>Terrain:<\/strong> Mountains, fjords, islands, tundra and wilderness<br \/>\n<strong>Mapping:<\/strong> 1:100,000 route maps and 1:500,000 overview maps<br \/>\n<strong>Additional content:<\/strong> Stage information, accommodation listings and downloadable GPX files<br \/>\n<strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Cicerone<br \/>\n<strong>Author:<\/strong> Mike Laing<br \/>\n<strong>Edition:<\/strong> First edition, 2024<br \/>\n<strong>Pages:<\/strong> 248<br \/>\n<strong>Language:<\/strong> English<br \/>\n<strong>ISBN:<\/strong> 9781786310958<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>An English-language Cicerone guide to five challenging multi-day hikes above the Arctic Circle.<\/strong> The 4\u201310 day routes explore the Lofoten Islands, the mountains around Narvik and Ofotfjorden, Troms and Finnmarksvidda.<\/p>\n<p>Includes detailed route descriptions, daily stages, 1:100,000 maps, overview mapping, accommodation information and downloadable GPX files.<\/p>\n<p>Suitable for experienced hikers and backpackers with good fitness and navigation skills in remote terrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":75050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":""},"product_brand":[1527],"product_cat":[1509],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-76527","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-cicerone","product_cat-hiking-guides","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"composite_virtual":false,"composite_layout":"","composite_add_to_cart_form_location":"","composite_editable_in_cart":false,"composite_sold_individually_context":"","composite_shop_price_calc":"","composite_components":[],"composite_scenarios":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
