Offersøykammen — Attraction in Vestvågøy

Absolute stunner of a hike! We started at about 9am to avoid the heat of the day, and the crowds. Though I wouldn’t say this is a particularly busy hike overall. Not like Reinbringen further south which was stacked with people! The parking lot right next to the tunnel entrance is large, free, and the trailhead starts right at the end of it. If you’re looking for an easier hike, avoid the first right branch off trail. This will have you climbing a very steep section to get up. If you stay on the more well defined part of the trail and go up and around the first knoll, it’s a much gentler incline. Save that energy for the steep, rocky parts to come in the last third of the hike up! Hike up took us about an hour and twenty five minutes. Not the tallest or most difficult hike in Lofoten, but the views...

Very difficult hike for non-hikers. But just take all the time you need and go up because it is so worth it... do not give up! It it took me 2h45 to go up, and 1h25 to come down. I'm not a trained hiker, love to do it on vacations but got surgery 3 months ago, and I succeeded!!💪🏻 Take hiking poles with you, good shoes and a lot of water! If it is cloudy, might be possible if you wait for a few minutes, that it will open up! The hike is steep with a lot of (mostly only) rocks! Take a jacket to be sure, because it can be very windy up there! And no, the end-point is not where you first think it is, we thought 3 times "yes there it is!" And it was always further 🤣🤭 Go park near the 3 hytter (forgot the name) and next to those 3 cabins, you can go up, cross the street and...

For me this hike offers one of the best views in Lofoten. To find the start of the hike park your car in the Skreda rest stop: Skreda - Nasjonale Turistveger and then walk along the road in the west direction (towards the red houses). The start of the hike will be on your left but there are no signs (see photo). The hike itself is steep and good hiking shoes help but it is suitable for almost everyone. It takes roughly an hour to the top but the views are amazing. The view to the north at the top is especially impressive. I would say this is a must...
