Måtind Hike
Måtind
The most popular short hike on Andøya, a round trip of about 3 hours. From the summit you can see both the open sea and a white sand beach.
Måtind is about 408 meters high. The trailhead lies beside the National Tourist Route. The one-way hike covers about 2.5 km with roughly 400 meters of elevation gain. The route is clearly marked, but the final section is steep and strewn with loose stones. The summit offers excellent views: the open Norwegian Sea on one side, and lakes and winding coastline on the other. On clear days you can see the mountains in the direction of Lofoten. Wear hiking boots, take care in strong winds, and move carefully when the trail is wet after rain.
