About the Geitgaljen hike
Geitgaljen is Lofoten’s second highest mountain, only 60 meters lower than Higravtinden which is the highest. These two mountain peaks are, so to speak, next to each other. Geitgaljen hike is more popular in winter than in summer due to good conditions for randone skiing. But at the same time, it is a fun challenge for active hikers in the summer and the trip also provides an incredibly beautiful view of Lofoten’s mountain ranges in all directions. If you are going to complete this mountain hike, you get the most for it on days when the weather is nice and blue skies.
