Stetind — Local services in Narvik

AMAZING hike!!! For people visting NOT wishing to climb, the lake at the end of the track is a magnificent stop for a lunch.

The hike started from the parking lot right near the toilets and ran along the river, where you meet a beautiful little waterfall. You don’t have to climb the waterfall - there is a small track around it which goes into the Forrest. Beautiful walk close to the lake and in the birch forest.

At the end it gets a bit steeper, which is also when the trees end and the rocky surface begins. It’s fairly easy to follow the track all the way to the beautiful azure blue lake.

We had thought to go higher, as the sign at the parking place said, you could go almost to the top without climbing. NO! Just no! Some loose rocks and scramble is ok for us, but closing in on the top it’s flat, sheer near vertical rock which is dangerous to attempt without prober gear. We stayed around the rocks and took some amazing photos before heading down - which was still a bit of a challenge.

In other words - absolutely a fantastic hike and worth a visit - even without going all the way to the top.

And honestly - if you are not an experienced climber with the right gear - Don’t...

Lähdimme patikoimaan kohti Stetindeniä…oli pilvistä joten huippu ei näkynyt…kovaa nousua ensin metsäisessä maisemassa virtaavan jokiputouksen vieressä…maasto muuttui jylhemmäksi ja lopuksi oli karumpaa ja vaikeakulkuisempaa..pelkkää kivikkoa mutta 470 metrin korkeudessa oli hieno jäätikköjärvi…kristallinkirkasta vettä.Sen korkeammalle emme menneet..söimme eväät ja ihastelimme maisemia🤩🏔️Ja lähdimme patikoimaan takaisin alas… Alhaalla paistoi aurinko ja näimme upean vuoren kokonaan🏔️Aikaa meni 4,5 tuntia edestakaisin 7,4 km jäätikköjärvelle ja takaisin!Kannattaa käydä...

Good hike with awesome views. Average hikers can make it to 1300m which is just before the last narrow rocky ridge to the Stetinden peak. Definitely...
