Hike description

Pilfjellet is a favourite hiking destination for locals in Trofors — with a beautiful trail that follows a mix of gravel road and well-used paths all the way to the top. At the summit, you’re rewarded with truly spectacular views: to the east, you can see Golvertind and Kvigtind in Børgefjell National Park; to the north, the peak of Brurskanken; to the south, the dramatic landscape of Lomsdal–Visten National Park; and to the west, the towering Visttindene peaks.

The view down toward Trofors and Almvatnet is also stunning, with rugged cliffs and black rock walls surrounding the lake.
