The best hike in Lofotens! The views are incredible, although if its cloudy - you wont get to see anything! We got really lucky, took our photos and then the clouds covered everything, so we came just on time!
It is definitely beautiful, but I would recommend spending time elsewhere in the Lofoten. There's a lot of hikes that offer beautiful valley views or coastal views. This one really isn't that crazy. Too many instagrammy people to the top and then when you can continue barely any people do. 1.9k stairs also so make sure you get your hiking boots on ;)
A very good and steep climb with a good view at the top. The new steps are good and sound. It can get very windy at the top, I would recommend a walking pole. Although steep it isn't vertiginous (I don't like drops, but all okay). I'm quite fit and we did it in 2.5hours comfortably. Used the harbour car park and paid for 3 hours at total 75NOK.
Awesome trail. Probably the best we had on our trip.
The trail consists of stairs all the way up but the view is gorgeous. For average people it would take about 1h to go all the way to the view point (it took us 40 min).
Be careful that drones are not allowed to fly there, and one steward is sometimes there to remind people (ofc you can fly it when he's not there, everyone did that). The weather can change quickly and go from foggy to quite clear thus you should wait a few minutes until it really clears out. A funny French student told us that the following part of the trail was really dangerous when it's foggy and wet.
Overall had a lot of fun there and I recommend
Incredible 2000 step mountain trail to the top of Reinebrigen in Reine, Norway. Be careful on windy/rainy days though as this could be treacherous when you’re exposed to the elements at great heights!
Worth it! Realively the easiest track, but with frequent breakdance anyone should be able to do it. On the track you can see parents with kids, even babies. I recommend to take trekking poles to support the knees :)
The breathtaking view from the top only comes with climbing almost 2000 steps! Everything is just perfect expect finding a parking place before walking to start of the climb.
There are only few hikes in Lofoten that offer as incredible views as Reinebringe does. It also offers a nice change to the traditional hikes with the steps. Reaching the top of stairs took a bit over 40 minutes with decent pace.
If you're a more experienced hiker and can handle a bit of climbing, there's a path continuing from the end of the steps forward. You can track the ridge trail additional ~ 30minutes further, which will offer more peaceful place to admire the views. There are some climbing required and also narrow sections, so keep that in mind.
There's also a path going downwards from the highest point at 666 meters, which will take you to an amazing lake, waterfalls and alongside blue waters. This trail will end up at the Steffenakken parking, which is 1.5km away from the start of Reinebringe hike. Completing the loop takes roughly 3 hours with stops
Photos cannot capture the beauty you are suddenly exposed to when you complete this hike. Some may argue that the hike is challenging, and it indeed can be, particularly when you overestimate your abilities or choose an incorrect walking pace. However, by adopting a slower pace to enjoy the view, the hike becomes more manageable. Upon reaching the top, any "suffering" endured will swiftly be replaced with pure joy. The view is beautiful, stunning, and breathtaking all at once.
The trail consists of approximately 1700 stone steps. Parking is available in Reine, which is roughly a kilometer from the actual start of the trail and costs about 150 NOK for the entire day. It doesn't take long to reach the top; an adult can manage it easily with the right pace. However, I would recommend reconsidering if you intend to bring a young child (0-7/8 years) along. While it's not impossible for them, it's important to note that this is not the easiest hike. That said, I did notice some small children on the trail, so with enough time, it's certainly achievable. Overall, this hike is a must when visiting Lofoten.
PS: I would advise against visiting here on a very windy or rainy day, as conditions could become dangerous with the steps potentially becoming slippery.
Very steep and dangerous when you walk down back to the trial head.
But the scenery was magnificent.
Parking place was not enough during summer. You might need to parking far away from the trial head.
