Hiking in Svolvær - Fløya
One of the most beautiful hikes we have done! More information below.
Svolværgeita
You can park in the center of Svolvær, otherwise you will find a car park right next to the stairs.
The hike starts with Sherpa stairs also called "the Devil´s Stairs". Then you will pass "the Devil´s Gate" which is a large rock stuck in a gorge. You will also see the famous "Svolværgeita", is a 150-metre tall pinnacle at the southwest face of the mountain. When you arrive at Fløya you get a fantastic view over the city of Svolvær.
The hike is around 2 hours one way.
We started walking early in the morning so there were less tourists.
