Norway (Hamarøyskaftet)

Hamarøyskaftet is a mountain in Hamarøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 612-metre (2,008 ft) mountain is a characteristic landmark of the region.

Is not the highest mountain in the area, but it is certanly the most eye-catching and spectacular. The road to the mountain goes through an untouched rural area. The approach takes you through a thick forest wich gives way to sheep pastures and further on the rocky flancs of Hamarøyskaftet, wich stand in sharp contrast to the green and fértiles landscape surrounding it.

The normal route to the peak is described as technically easy, with some exposed parts.

This makes Hamarøyskaftet a climb that isn´t exclusively reserved for climbers, anyone in decent shape can climb to the top, preferebly in the company of a cualificated mountainguide.

From the top of the mountain you have spectacular views, especially over the Lofoten islands on the other side of Vestfjorden.
