The route

Norge på langs means walking the length of Norway. My route goes from Nordkapp to Lindesnes, about 2,800 km, following Nordryggen through the inland mountains.

I decided to do it during an 8-day loop through Tafjord in summer 2025.

Section 1: Nordkapp to Lakselv

I walked the first section from 1 to 9 August 2026, starting at Nordkapp and ending in Lakselv.

Dates: 1-9 August 2026
Distance: 205.4 km
Time: 9 days
Climbing: 5,751 m

Why I stopped

I stopped in Lakselv. The weather was too bad, and I chose to stop there.

What's next

The rest of the route, from Lakselv to Lindesnes, is still to be walked. I'll do it later, bit by bit.

I write about the walks in the journal and post from them on Instagram.
