HIKING TRAILS IN VESTVÅGØY

HATTVIKA LODGE

MT SKOTTINDEN 671 MASL

STORVATNET

Mt Nonstinden: Parking is next to Kræmmarvika Havn restaurant and the hiking trail starts right at the parking zone. The ascend is medium steep until you reach the plateau of Ballstadheia. A truly amazing hike at the Ridge until you summit Mt Nonstinden, 459 MASL and overlooking the fisherman village, Ballstad, in all its beauty.

MT NONSTINDEN 459 MASL

Storvatnet (the large freshwater lake): This is a new local community made hiking trail in the flat terrain of Ballstad. Parking at the local school and enter the terrain by walking 150 m toward Leknes and enter the left side of the road to the hiking trail. In total, the hike is approx 10 km in a flat and scenic landscape, pinewood forest and several freshwater lakes – all sheltered by the massive Mt Skottind of Ballstad.

Mt Skottind: This scenic hike is medium to expert level. It starts in the trail for Storvatnet and enters the Kyllingdalen area (hiking trail). The ascend starts at the end of the inner freshwater lake and is steep from start to summit. The last 150 m to the summit is 35 degrees and exposed for falling rocks.

The reward of summiting is breathless as you overlook all of Ballstad.
