About the Møysalen hike
Møysalen National park: Møysalen is the highest mountain peak in Vesterålen and it is also higher than any other mountain in Lofoten with its 1263 meters above sea-level. The trail starts at Kaljord and continues along the water’s edge into the fjord before the climb begins. This is an extremely nice trip for those who want an extra challenge because it is a relatively demanding mountain trip with a unique landscape. It is also possible to have the trip arranged as a guided tour if you wish. As the hike is so long with its total of 22 km from start to you are back at your car, you can calculate a day. But Møysalen can of course be done in hours for those who are familiar and in good shape. Just south of the summit is the Fonnisen glacier.
