Overview

Ryten is one of the top winter hiking and snowshoeing destinations in Lofoten. Located in Lofotodden National Park near Fredvang, it offers iconic views of Kvalvika Beach and the dramatic peaks of Moskenes and Flakstad.

The route we follow has gentle terrain and no avalanche risk, making it a safe and accessible winter adventure with the right gear and an experienced guide.

The hike climbs to 543 meters with over 500 meters of elevation gain. It’s a challenge, but the views from the summit are unforgettable and often the highlight of our guests’ trip to Lofoten.

No previous hiking or snowshoeing experience is needed, but you should be comfortable with physical effort and deep snow in some sections along the way.

Activity itinerary

Ryten
  • 4h
Ivar, your driver and guide, will pick you up at your accommodation (anywhere between Å and Ramberg) and drive you to the trailhead. We will use snowshoes, microspikes, or potentially both, depending on the snow conditions. Ivar will show you how to use the snowshoes and adjust the hiking poles, and you’ll receive instructions on how to layer your clothes to avoid getting sweaty and subsequently cold. During the trip, we will take it easy and have frequent breaks so you can take pictures, catch your breath, and simply enjoy yourself. In a group of up to 8 people, everyone can have a different pace. We’ll always adjust to the slowest participant to make sure no one is left behind. This also means that others might need to walk slower or take breaks while waiting for the rest of the group. If you prefer not to be slowed down by other group members, we suggest booking a private hike and letting Ivar know a bit in advance so he can add more cardio to his training sessions.
