This is one of the most stunning and thrilling hikes Northern Norway has to offer, passing through border mountains and national parks, reindeer grazing areas, open plateaus, wild valleys, and massive mountain ranges. And now, you can hike it with luggage transport from cabin to cabin.
The Nordland Trekking Trail is divided into 8 sections with a total of 43 daily stages. All of them are beautiful, but many are long, challenging mountain hikes. For the first time, you now have the opportunity to hike the first daily stages of the route as a light backpack hike. This means that most of your luggage will be transported between the accommodations, along with food for each day. You can enjoy the daily stages with a light pack, carrying only what you need for the hike. You could, for example, hike with around 5 kg in your backpack instead of 15-20 kg. Read More
