Svolværgeita & Fløya
Svolværgeita
The twin-horned spire behind Svolvær, world-famous for photos of climbers leaping between its two “horns.” Ordinary visitors can hike to nearby Fløya for the view.
Svolværgeita (the Goat) has a roughly 150-metre summit that requires technical rock climbing. You can join a local guiding company to try it. Casual hikers can follow the Djeveltrappa (Devil's Staircase) up to the Devil's Gate viewpoint, then continue to Fløya (about 590 metres) for views over Svolvær harbour and countless small islands. The round trip takes about 3–4 hours. The path is steep and slippery after rain, so wear hiking boots.
