Mountain hike to Stålberget on Hadseløya
SUMMER SEASON
Join us on a mountain hike to the top of Stålberget. If you like hiking in steep terrain and on beautiful mountain ridges, this is the trip for you.
Vesterålen is HIKER’S PARADISE!
Legs of Steel!
On the north side of Hadseløya, you will find Stålberget (Mountain of Steel). This is a relatively steep hike classified as demanding – perfect for those who thrive in steep terrain and enjoy following exposed ridges.
We begin by hiking towards Litleflatsetvatnet (79 m above sea level), an area where it is not uncommon to spot moose. After about a ten-minute walk, the ascent towards Hankammen (297 m above sea level) begins. From there, we follow the ridge further up towards Slettheia, where we will take a short break to enjoy the fantastic view over the north side of Hadseløya and the southern part of Langøya.
The final stretch offers steep and somewhat technical terrain all the way up to the summit at 602 meters above sea level. From Stålberget, you are rewarded with a magnificent view of the highest peaks on Hadseløya, as well as the ridges you follow when hiking the length of the island. After a good break to enjoy your packed lunch and drinks, we return along the same route.
The hike takes a total of 3–4 hours, including plenty of breaks
