Guided hike to Lauvnesknuten

The hike to Lauvnesknuten offers a fantastic journey through a varied landscape that culminates at the summit, 633 metres above sea level, with a magical panorama of mountains and fjords. It is a favourite among many and highly recommended.

After around 60 minutes' drive from the pick-up point, you will approach the hike's starting point. Once at the starting point, your guide will check your equipment and make any necessary adjustments. You will then receive a short safety briefing with information about the trail, expected conditions and useful hiking tips before embarking on the day's exciting adventure!

The hike starts effortlessly on a gravel road by a quiet lake, leading to scattered cabins and creating a tranquil atmosphere. After about 1.8 kilometres, the dirt road ends and you head out into the countryside, following a path alongside beautiful lakes.

The terrain is occasionally damp but equally charming, and you cross the open and clear landscape until you reach a junction and turn north towards the fjord. Taking small breaks to capture the surroundings in photos is usually desirable, which is completely understandable in this magical terrain!

Now Lauvnesknuten awaits - a well-shaped cairn marks the top of this mountain that you admired from the car earlier. You walk upwards, and then there is a slight descent before you reach the top of Lauvnesknuten. What a view! Towards the Høgsfjord in the northwest, and towards the Frafjord winding eastwards between the towering mountains!

A well-earned break at the top gives you time to enjoy the view and pat yourself on the back for reaching the summit. After a refreshing break, the hike returns, with opportunities for detours to gain new perspectives and new hiking memories if time and energy allow.
