Midnight Sun Challenge

Reach new heights

For the more adventurous, there is the opportunity to complete an epic ridge traverse affording panoramic views of this little known archipalego inside the Arctic Circle.

A year’s worth of adventure experiences in one week, this unique Challenge has been designed for our guest explorers to push themselves in one of the most spectacular, varied and demanding landscapes in the world. The land of the Midnight Sun, the Lofoten archipelago, is situated inside the Arctic Circle off the North West coast of Norway. It’s a place of raw beauty, where big ocean swells crash against the jagged mountains rising vertically from the sea. Many of the awe-inspiring sights are inaccessible and only by hiking and climbing do you get to witness the island’s majesty. This is one of the world's greatest hikes and few places on earth bring together the elements of mountain and ocean with such drama.
