The LOFOTEN TRAIL - HIKING and WILD CAMPING Norway

This is a hiking and wild camping video from the Lofoten Trail in Norway. I've spent 4 days out in the wild in arguably one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. The Lofoten Islands is an archipelago in Norway. Its known for its dramatic scenery, with peaks like the Svolværgeita pinnacle jutting up into the sky. We followed the trail along the official route of the Arctic Triple - an official Ultra Marathon from Kirkefjord to Svolvær held in June. We spent the time wild camping at some of the most surreal camp spots such as glacier lakes, beaches and some beautiful mountain panoramas. In this video you can see views of Nusfjord, Kvalvika beach, Ryten, Fredvang bridge, Moskenes, Reine and more. It was filmed with drone DJI Mavic mini 2 and Sony ZV1.

What a stunningly, starkly beautiful place.

Hey Cathrine, thanks again for your comment. Yes, Lofoten is incredible 🙂

Beautifully shot. What temperatures did you experience during your hike, what comfort rating sleeping bag should I carry on my hike to the Lofoten?

[@maholy89]

Hi, good question. I used a down sleeping bag with a comfort rating of +4 Celsius with an extra liner. It was actually quite warm, but I was also super lucky with the weather. It was around 15-20 degrees most of the time. I hiked in June, so it didn’t really get dark, which means the temperature also didn’t drop that much in the night.

Incredibly beautiful shots Christian and a very inspiring adventure to me, as I am going to Norway this autumn and don't know where to start hiking. This is an epic piece of work!

[@maholy89]

Hey Mario, thanks 🙂 it’s a pretty big country so I fully understand you. I mostly have been to Lofoten and Senja and those places were just magnificent. But surely there is more to explore 👍

[@maholy89]

[@ulrichhohl9909]

Dankeschön 🙂

Absolutely beautiful area and you capture it so well in your shots! I have a video of a cycling trip around Scandinavia that I am trying to edit, but it was a long time ago and I just don't have the stunning shots like you have here to do the area justice. I will have to stick to making new films and just enjoy yours for Norway content - great job!

[@maholy89]

No worries mate, just stick to the material you have and don’t try to be perfect. I’m sure it’s great what you have 🙂

Nice videos! How is the MSR Hubba Hubba holding up in the weather of Northern Europe? Do you like it so far?

[@maholy89]

Hey Gerben, well in normal conditions the Hubba Hubba is absolutely fine and if you are considerate with your camp spot you should be able to find a place in almost every situation. I would not recommend it in strong winds though. I managed to break some tent poles in Scotland recently when I got surprised by some really nasty weather. If you want to be prepared for all kinds of weather I would rather go for something stronger.
