Solo Hike to the Summit of Tuva in Lofoten, Norway

On one of the last days before the sun disappears from the horizon I hike alone up to the summit of the mountain Tuva here in Lofoten. As I gradually gain altitude the sounds from the city starts to disappear. About halfway up the ground is covered in snow, and one can really notice the change in brightness. When I hike up the ridge towards the top the wind picks up and I put on a warm middle layer to compensate. I also put on micro spikes to get some extra traction on the snow and ice.

From the summit I have panoramic views of the fjord, Svolvær city and the surrounding mountains. It’s always fascinating to reach a new summit, especially now that I’ve hiked a lot in the nearby mountains and from this new summit I get an entirely new perspective and can see how the mountains I’ve visited previously are connected.

As the sun dips below the horizon for the last time this year I start my hike back down to Svolvær.

As with most of my silent hiking videos, this one is without talking and without music. Only the real nature sounds recorded on location.
