About this place

Fløya is the hill above Svolvær and one of the most popular walks in the area. The path climbs steadily from the edge of town and ends at a rocky summit area looking over the harbour and sea. It is steep in places and can be wet.

Local tip

Start early in summer to avoid the crowds and the heat of the afternoon.

Safety

Check weather and conditions on the day, bring proper footwear and layers, and turn back if in doubt.

Avalanche danger applies from autumn to late spring. Check the warning on varsom.no before any winter or spring trip, and check the weather forecast on the day.
