Husfjellet
632-meter peak beside Skaland with a gentler slope; the summit overlooks the Bøvær islands and the full sweep of the Arctic Ocean.
Husfjellet rises about 632 meters. The trailhead is beside the road near Skaland village, and the round trip is about 5 km, taking 3 to 4 hours. Compared with Segla, the first half is gentler, and the summit is an open plateau with 360-degree views of Bergsfjorden, the offshore islands of Bøvær and distant jagged ridges. Many locals consider it one of the best viewpoints in Senja. Night hiking during the midnight sun period is well suited to this peak. The final section to the top is a scree slope, so watch your footing.
