Mountaineer Kristin Harila has the world record in climbing the 14 highest mountains on the planet, and should thus be the best person to consult.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some of us are fitter than others. Kristin Harila has climbed all 14 mountains in the world exceeding 8000 metres. During the summer of 2023 she climbed them all within 92 days, setting a world record. She also holds the world record for women on Mount Everest. It is thus safe to say that she knows a lot about hiking and being outdoors. We therefore asked her to share her favourites in the north with us. After all, her interest in nature started up here. Fortunately, she didn\u2019t only recommend tough tours but also more accessible tours suited for less ambitious hikers. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/63b949b9-68a1-45da-8330-27b2af4fd894.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/63b949b9-68a1-45da-8330-27b2af4fd894-2048x1536.jpg\" alt=\"Ersfjordtraversen - the Ersfjord Traverse - is at its best in good weather \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/63b949b9-68a1-45da-8330-27b2af4fd894.jpg\" data-caption=\"Ersfjordtraversen - the Ersfjord Traverse - is at its best in good weather \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5893fc57-3b82-420b-94ad-85e8da0e91d8.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1799\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5893fc57-3b82-420b-94ad-85e8da0e91d8-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Steep, rocky and exposed.

A&nbsp; line of very impressive Alpine mountain peaks -interspersed with small glaciers &#8211; is reflected in the fjord. The elevation gain is 2800 metres involving both hiking and climbing. In 2020, the local student Eivind Wergeland Jacobsen beat the previous record of internationally renowned mountain runner Kilian Jornet from Spain by 12 minutes at the impressive speed of 4 hours and 37 minutes. The first climb is Mount Skamtind at 882 metres, and then they follow suit; Storstolpan (658 m), Hollandaren (1029 m), Revbergtinden (965 m), Melketinden (895m), Styrmannstinden (955m), Zapffetoppen (1016m) and finally the highest, Store Bl\u00e5mann at 1044. The hike involves climbing and rapelling, and is only suited for the experienced mountaineer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is an incredibly great tour, Kristin says. The summits are great, and I ran through the whole thing in one day. Pick a day with ok weather, as the rocks can be slippery. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9920.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9920-2048x1536.jpg\" alt=\"Cotton grass on a summer&#039;s night.

Instead, high horizons and wide expanses create a sense of openness allowing you to see far. The Varanger National Park covers most of the peninsula of Varangerhalv\u00f8ya, and the Nattfjelldalen Valley provides easy access to this wilderness. The river has dug a canyon, and you can choose to follow the river, or walk along the edge of the canyon.The obvious target is at the very end of the valley, where the river takes a dive from the flat, wide tundra down into the valley, creating a picturesque waterfall. From the top end of the waterfall, you can see Vads\u00f8 and across the Varangerfjord  the Rybachy Peninsula on the Russian side. The return hike is 19 km, making it suitable for anyone capable of walking the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I use the tour as a good run, Kristin says. But if I do it in August, it turn into a berry picking tour instead. The area is just full of blueberries, and there are also cloudberries around. I also went there with a close to 80 year old relative, so this is accessible. However, to most people this is a whole day tour, so pack food and good clothes. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_1738.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_1738-1536x2048.jpg\" alt=\"Low winter sun on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_1738.jpg\" data-caption=\"Low winter sun on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9464.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9464-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Crossing a frozen lake on the high plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9464.jpg\" data-caption=\"Crossing a frozen lake on the high plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/D4C288A7-D8BD-444D-803A-684E5E79BA67_1_105_c.jpg\" data-size=\"1350x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/D4C288A7-D8BD-444D-803A-684E5E79BA67_1_105_c-768x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Winter night and Sami flag...and Kristin \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/D4C288A7-D8BD-444D-803A-684E5E79BA67_1_105_c.jpg\" data-caption=\"Winter night and Sami flag...and Kristin \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AFD579E9-756A-4214-9E46-902FB04AC3C2.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AFD579E9-756A-4214-9E46-902FB04AC3C2-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Camp on the Finnmarksvidda high plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AFD579E9-756A-4214-9E46-902FB04AC3C2.jpg\" data-caption=\"Camp on the Finnmarksvidda high plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Low winter sun on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Crossing a frozen lake on the high plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Winter night and Sami flag&#8230;and Kristin \u00a9 Kristin Harila<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Camp on the Finnmarksvidda high plateau \u00a9 Kristin Harila<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crossing-the-finnmarksvidda-high-plateau-on-skis-is-a-late-winter-pleasure\">Crossing the Finnmarksvidda High Plateau on Skis is a late winter pleasure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In late winter, with stable weather and deep snow, cross-country skiing across the Finnmarksvidda High Plateau is a delight. The classical route runs 80 km from Alta to Karasjok, and is done leisurely in 4 days. On the way, one stays in \u201cfjellstuer\u201d \u2013 mountain refuges. These traditional and simple places to stay feed you, clean you in saunas and let you sleep well in dorms. The Finnmarksvidda Mountain Plateau consists of rolling hills, meaning you don\u2019t have to be an expert skier. However, a bit of skiing experience is a good idea, and you should have reasonably good shape and stamina.&nbsp; You need to be equipped for wind, snow and rain, and sunscreen with SPF 50 will save you a severe sunburn. Experienced skiers organise it themselves, the rest of us buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glodexplorer.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">package tour<\/a> with a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I have done the tour in early February, camping in tents&#8221;, Kristin says. &#8220;That can be a really cold, and you also ski in the dark part of the time&#8221;.

Shaped like the Matterhorn is is a challenging and to some nerve-wrecking peak. It can, however, be done by anyone in ok shape who is used to a bit of summery mountain hiking. Some 25 km out of Troms\u00f8, the hike starts with a steep ascent. In an altitude of some 1100 metres, the \u201cEgga\u201d awaits, a ridge full of big boulders. Finally, after a cumbersome time, you reach the last pinnacle. The side is a bit of a scramble, but before you know it, you\u2019re on the small platform at the top. From here, you see far away, to the Lyngen Alps in the east, a maze of peaks and valleys in the south and in the west as far as the island of Senja This mountain requires stamina and some experience in mountain hiking. Avoid it in wet weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;There are just so many great summits right outside Troms\u00f8&#8221; Kristin says, and this one right outside town is a real challenge with great views.

This world of towering peaks, glaciers and steep ascents can be tricky to navigate if you\u2019re not used to mountain hiking. In September 2023, Kristin Harila inaugurated the Lyngentrappa \u2013 the Lyngen Steps \u2013 constructed by Sherpas from Nepal using their unique building technique. We can thus get an easy access to these fabulous mountains. On finely adjusted slabs and stones, you ascend 1200 steps and are rewarded with views across the Lyngen Fjord on one side and up the alpine peaks on the other. For the average climber, this is a perfect stop, but Kristin continued further into the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I have got many friends in Nepal&#8221; Kristin says &#8220;And there stone building is an old tradition not only for building paths in the steep terrain, but also for houses&#8221;.  The many paths built by the Nepalese sherpas are a source of pride for the locals, and of course provide jobs locally. In Norway, the steps give a lot of people easier access to nature, according to Kristin.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPTempDownload-2.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPTempDownload-2-2048x1536.jpg\" alt=\"Snow in the autumn mountains of Senja, with the Atlantic way out there \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPTempDownload-2.jpg\" data-caption=\"Snow in the autumn mountains of Senja, with the Atlantic way out there \u00a9 Kristin Harila\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3793.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3793-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Troubled bridge over troubled water.

However, the entire spine of the island is a landscape of mountains, valleys, lakes and reindeer pastures, far away from any settlements. Lush birch forests, shrubland above the treeline, lakes, rivers, rounded peaks and bogland; it\u2019s all varied. It takes 4 days to do the 48 kilometres, and the elevation gain is 1800 metres. You stay in simple huts, at Lake \u00c5ndervatn even in a Sami turf hut, and no services are available. The hike is suited for anyone used to trekking, and there are no dangers on the way. Bring a tent and food for the entire trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kristin did the hike running in September. She didn&#8217;t meet a soul on her tour, and apart from crossing a road, there were few traces of human activity.
