Détails de l'article
Voici comment l'éditeur présente ce titre sur son site :
Guidebook to trekking in Norway above the Arctic Circle, including the Lofoten Islands, the mountains around Narvik and Ofotfjord, Tromso and the Troms region, and Finnmarksvidda in the far north east. Treks range from 48 to 165km in length and take between four and ten days to walk. Includes 1:100,000 maps, itineraries and accommodation guide.
Seasons
Due to the northern latitude, trails are viable for a relatively short season between early July (mid June for Lofoten Islands) and mid September.
Centres
Narvik, Abisko (Sweden), Sørvågen, Leknes, Karasjok, Alta
Difficulty
All the trails are non-technical in nature with no specialist skills required, but experience of navigation and multi-day hiking are essential. Residual, easy angled snow at elevation, especially early in the season, may require confidence.
Must See
Fjords and peaks of the magnificent Lofoten Islands; remote wilderness of Inner Troms; rolling tundra of Finnmarksvidda; Arctic flora and fauna; 24-hour daylight
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.
