2 Peaks outside "mainland Lofoten"
We also recommend two tops for those who take the boat
out on the islands off "mainland Lofoten"
Værøy
Håen - Completely adventurous view from this peak on Værøy. From the top you have a view of the whole of Måstadvika. The walk can be largely done on paved roads or taken as a shortcut up the grassy slopes to the top. From 438 m above sea level, all you have to do is enjoy. Adventurous view. A must when you are on Værøy. Tip: Also take the trip to vacated Måstad.
Time: 1.5 hours. Grading: 1
Skrova
Skrovafjellet. On an island outside Svolvær there is an easily accessible mountain peak with a great view of "paradise beaches". To get to Skrova, you take a ferry or speedboat from Svolvær. There are more opportunities every day. You can easily walk from the ferry dock to most of what the island has to offer, including Skrovatoppen. Note that it is stone clock if you go the "main path". It is also possible to go up from the beaches at the back.
