Would you like to see the midnight sun in Helgeland? And experience the surge of energy the locals claim it gives them? In Helgeland we have midnight sun from around 12 June until 10 July. To see the sun rise without ever dipping below the horizon, you need to be on a mountain or on the coast with an unobstructed view.

The Nordlandsruta is 650 kilometers long, divided into eight sections with a total of 43 daily stages. It takes you along the border mountains of Nordland, from Hattfjelldal in the south to the Narvik Mountains in the north. Fifteen of the stages pass through Helgeland, spread across the four southernmost sections of the route.

The hike to Tortenkøta is an easy and family-friendly walk along the Coastal Route (Kystriksveien) near Flostrand. By the shelter, you'll find small pools and natural rock slides — a great place for the family to swim and relax.
