About this attraction
To the north, a late summer sun hangs low over calm waters of the Norwegian sea. Below, Kvalvika beach is illuminated in golden sunlight while a distant rainbow marks the recent passing of a light rain shower. Standing on the beach, Ryten appears as a massive cliff rising to a height of 543 meters directly from the sea. From above, the view back towards Kvalvika beach is one of the most spectacular to be found anywhere on the Lofoten Islands; it is worth making the hike up Ryten for nothing more than this view alone.
Several trails make their way towards the summit of Ryten and a variety of hikes are possible. You can choose from an easy afternoon hike or you may prefer to camp near the summit or Kvalvika beach. Either way, try and wait for a day where you can enjoy the scenic views which this mountain has to offer.
