A hiking adventure: The seven sisters - all seven peaks all at once

Taking on all seven peaks of the Seven Sisters in a single hike is one of the toughest and most demanding mountain adventures in Helgeland. It’s a hike that requires good preparation and fitness — and it promises a nature experience you won’t forget. Key info Difficulty: Very demandingDistance: 24–27 kmElevation gain: 2,500–3,000 metresDuration: 12–20 hoursSeason: June – OctoberStarting point: Southernmost parking area for the Seven SistersView starting point on Google Maps Download trail mapDownload GPX The Seven Sisters mountain range consists of seven peaks on the island of Alsta, near Sandnessjøen. Each peak stands around 1,000 metres and is demanding even on its own. To hike all seven in one day is a serious endurance challenge for experienced and fit hikers. The terrain is steep and rugged — your legs, knees, and ankles will be tested. Many people choose to end the hike partway and descend via the trails between the peaks. This description follows the south-to-north route, which is recommended. The two southernmost peaks are the most demanding, so it’s best to tackle them while you’re still fresh. You’ll also have the sun at your back for most of the hike. It is, of course, also possible to hike north to south, but be aware that this means saving the hardest peaks for last. Read More
