About this ebook
A guidebook to trekking in Norway north of the Arctic Circle, including the Lofoten Long Crossing in the region's south-west and the Finnmarksvidda in the far north-east. From 48-165km (30-103 miles) in length and taking between 4 and 10 days to walk, the trails cover mountain terrain and remote tundra and may cross residual snow at elevation, so are suitable for experienced hikers and backpackers.
Each of the five multi-day treks is described in detail, with accommodation, facilities and transport options highlighted, and alternative itineraries listed where relevant. Some of the trails criss-cross over the border into neighbouring Sweden and Finland.
- Includes 1:100,000 mapping of each stage, with 1:500,000 trek overview maps also provided
- Handy route summary tables, stage facilities planner and accommodation listings help you plan your itinerary
- Details of transport and refreshments included for each trek
- GPX files available to download
- Sized to easily fit in a jacket pocket
