Festvågtind
Festvågtinden
A 541-metre peak beside Henningsvær and a classic hike for views over the fishing village of Henningsvær and its offshore football pitch.
The trailhead is near the Henningsvær bridge. The round trip takes about 3–4 hours. The first half is steep scree and rock slopes. Once you reach the shoulder platform, you can look down on the Henningsvær islands and the football pitch on one of them. On clear days you may also see snowy mountains on the mainland. The final stretch to the summit requires scrambling with hands and feet, so anyone afraid of heights can stop at the shoulder. Paths get slippery in rain or fog, so always check the weather before setting out.
