In a lush, south-facing hillside, the views unfold like a story; from teasing glimpses to a wonderful finale of fjord and alps.

I found the path leading around a meadow and along a spruce planting. And there it was\u2014a path through a turnstile meant to keep the sheep in place. Winding around the lower trunks of spruce trees, the ascent felt manageable for a minute or two. However, soon I looked up a steep hillside with stairs zigzagging virtually straight up. They seemed deeply cut into the terrain, as if they had been there forever, rather than installed just a few years ago. Around and between the steps, waving grasses and flowers were growing. Every now and then, I get a bit of vertigo, but here I felt no trace of it. It all felt very safe, just a lot of hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-staircase-has-its-own-sense-of-theatre\">The staircase has its own sense of theatre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another notable feature of the staircase is the dramatic staging. Gasping for breath, when you look down from the first few hundred steps, you see nothing but dark, menacing spruce trees. The stairs offer just a small opening in the dense forest. Thus, there is no view to speak of. &nbsp;However, as you reach above the planted spruce forest, the natural, light birch forest takes over. The summer greenery gradually reveals glimpses of the blue fjord and the village of Lyngseidet. Occasionally, the ferry to Olderdalen may appear from the greenery, far below. &nbsp;We sense the wide panorama, but the foliage continues to play tricks on us.

The view was overwhelming. The village of Lyngseidet lay spread out like toy houses around the old church far below. The Lyngen Alps loomed in a deep, enigmatic blue against the bright summer sky ahead and to the right. Flat, long, thin peninsulas with forest and farmland jutted into the fjord below, remnants of ancient moraines from the end of the ice age. To the left, the broad expanse of the Lyngenfjord stretched out, with distant mountains on the far side. I sat on a stone bench and took it in and found myself uplifted and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-terrain-flattens-out-on-top\">The terrain flattens out on top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some locals turned back from the viewpoint. They tackled the steepest section for a quick cardio workout. I, however, was here for the experience and began my walk through the light mountain forest. Sheep grazed along the side and had left little pearls of droppings on the path. The sun filtered through the leaves as I heard small streams babbling. Slowly the forest gave way to low-growing willow shrubbery, heather and dwarf birches. Stone slabs bridged the streams, and many shorter sections of stairs appeared as you walked. Finally, I reached Verdens Ende \u2013 the end of the world, which is also the end of the trail. From there, the view is even grander. The village of Lyngseidet is no longer visible, and the fjord appears much more distant. You get a real sense of being in the wilderness, far from civilization<\/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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Grand-View-Verdens-Ende-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1893\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Grand-View-Verdens-Ende-Knut-Hansvold-2048x1615.jpg\" alt=\"View from &quot;Verdens ende&quot; - the End of the Word - the end of the Lyngentrappa \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Grand-View-Verdens-Ende-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-caption=\"View from &quot;Verdens ende&quot; - the End of the Word - the end of the Lyngentrappa \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Grazing-Sheep-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-size=\"1350x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Grazing-Sheep-Knut-Hansvold-768x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Sheep keeping us company in the upper end of the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Grazing-Sheep-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-caption=\"Sheep keeping us company in the upper end of the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Crossing-Stream-Knut-Hansvold.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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Crossing-Stream-Knut-Hansvold-768x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Summery feel in the mountain forest in the upper part of the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Crossing-Stream-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-caption=\"Summery feel in the mountain forest in the upper part of the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-towards-the-top-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-size=\"1179x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-towards-the-top-Knut-Hansvold-768x1563.jpg\" alt=\"Heading towards &quot;Verdens ende&quot; - The End of the World - the summit on the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-towards-the-top-Knut-Hansvold.jpg\" data-caption=\"Heading towards &quot;Verdens ende&quot; - The End of the World - the summit on the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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: View from &quot;Verdens ende&quot; &#8211; the End of the Word &#8211; the end of the Lyngentrappa \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Sheep keeping us company in the upper end of the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Summery feel in the mountain forest in the upper part of the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Heading towards &quot;Verdens ende&quot; &#8211; The End of the World &#8211; the summit on the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-should-climb-the-lyngentrappa-staircase\">Who should climb the Lyngentrappa staircase?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, almost everyone can enjoy it. The steps are well-integrated into the terrain, minimising the risk of vertigo. I met fit retired people, people with a bit of a pouch and fitness fanatics on my way. However, no one could outpace 7-year-old Nora, who ran ahead of everyone else. Descending can strain the knees, so if you have serious knee issues, the stairs may not be suitable for you. Those with serious heart conditions should be mindful of their limits. As with all natural sites in Norway, use of the Lyngentrappa is at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-time-of-the-year-can-you-climb-the-lyngentrappa\">What time of the year can you climb the Lyngentrappa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being south facing, the Lyngentrappa clears of snow earlier than many other places. However, this can vary from year to year. By May, the snow is usually gone.&nbsp; June, July and August are good times to hike. September, with its beautiful autumn colours, is a favourite for many, but after a frost, the steps can be slippery in the morning. &nbsp;October often offers good climbing conditions, but we recommend carrying crampons in your backpack. You might be able to climb the stairs on a mild, rainy November day, but this is not guaranteed. If there is a layer of snow, we do not recommend climbing the Lyngentrappa. While locals may climb it in the snow, remember that they are accustomed to snow and ice and typically have better footwear and gear than visitors from outside the Arctic Circle<\/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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Lyngseidet-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1349\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Lyngseidet-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord-2048x1151.jpg\" alt=\"Lyngseidet village seen from the Lyngentrappa stairs in autumn colours \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Lyngseidet-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Lyngseidet village seen from the Lyngentrappa stairs in autumn colours \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-host-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1350x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-host-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn in the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-host-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Autumn in the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Lyngenferga-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Lyngenferga-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x1365.jpg\" alt=\"The Lyngen Ferry on its way from Lyngseidet towards Olderdalen on a radiant autumn day \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-Lyngenferga-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Lyngen Ferry on its way from Lyngseidet towards Olderdalen on a radiant autumn day \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-utsiktspunkt-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1349x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-utsiktspunkt-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x1366.jpg\" alt=\"The view in autumn colours \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lyngentrappa-utsiktspunkt-Marie-Angelsen-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"The view in autumn colours \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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: Lyngseidet village seen from the Lyngentrappa stairs in autumn colours \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Autumn in the Lyngentrappa stairs \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The Lyngen Ferry on its way from Lyngseidet towards Olderdalen on a radiant autumn day \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: The view in autumn colours \u00a9 Marie Angelsen \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-we-see-the-northern-lights-from-the-lyngentrappa\">Can we see the Northern Lights from the Lyngentrappa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Northern Lights are just as frequent in the autumn as in winter. Seeing them from high above the village is a great idea if you dress warmly and bring a good headlamp In September, night frost is common, and by October, it is more frequent, which can make the steps slippery. Therefore, in addition to a headlamp, you should carry good crampons in your backpack. Also, bring extra clothes since you may get sweaty climbing up and feel cold while sitting at the top. Remember, when it starts snowing, climbing the steps is no longer advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content is-post-type-artikler todo-drink-in-northern-norway todo-eat-and-stay season-autumn season-spring season-summer season-winter region-lyngenfjord wp-block-t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content-layout-col-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t<div class=\"default-card wp-block-t2-wrapper\">\n<a class=\"t2-post-link wp-block-t2-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-worlds-northernmost-distillery-nestles-beneath-the-lyngen-alps\/\">\n<div class=\"t2-post-dynamic-part is-source-filter filter-default_card wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\">\n\t\t<figure style=\"--t2-focal-point: 49% 37%;\" class=\"t2-post-featured-image has-image-ratio-16-9 wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Whiskies-getting-tanned-by-age-Aurora-Spirits-Lyngen-Knut-Hansvold-768x520.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-region\">\n\t\t\t\tLyngenfjord\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<h2>The World\u2019s Northernmost Distillery Nestles Beneath the Lyngen Alps<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-activities\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 640 512\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-activites\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M625.941 293.823L421.823 497.941c-18.746 18.746-49.138 18.745-67.882 0l-.36-.36L592 259.882 331.397 0h48.721a48 48 0 0 1 33.941 14.059l211.882 211.882c18.745 18.745 18.745 49.137 0 67.882zm-128 0L293.823 497.941C284.451 507.314 272.166 512 259.882 512c-12.284 0-24.569-4.686-33.941-14.059L14.059 286.059A48 48 0 0 1 0 252.118V48C0 21.49 21.49 0 48 0h204.118a47.998 47.998 0 0 1 33.941 14.059l211.882 211.882c18.745 18.745 18.745 49.137 0 67.882zM464 259.882L252.118 48H48v204.118l211.886 211.878L464 259.882zM144 96c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48s21.49 48 48 48 48-21.49 48-48-21.49-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\tDrink in Northern Norway\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content is-post-type-artikler season-autumn season-summer region-lyngenfjord malgrupper-nature-lover malgrupper-outdoor-adventure wp-block-t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content-layout-col-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t<div class=\"default-card wp-block-t2-wrapper\">\n<a class=\"t2-post-link wp-block-t2-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-glacier-steindalsbreen-is-a-blue-wonder-in-the-lyngen-alps\/\">\n<div class=\"t2-post-dynamic-part is-source-filter filter-default_card wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\">\n\t\t<figure style=\"--t2-focal-point: 50% 85%;\" class=\"t2-post-featured-image has-image-ratio-16-9 wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lyngen-26-1-768x855.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-region\">\n\t\t\t\tLyngenfjord\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<h2>The glacier Steindalsbreen is a blue wonder in the Lyngen Alps<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content is-post-type-artikler todo-attractions todo-hiking todo-hiking-trips todo-natural-highlights season-autumn season-spring season-summer region-lyngenfjord malgrupper-nature-lover malgrupper-romantic-indulger wp-block-t2-featured-single-post t2-featured-content-layout-col-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t<div class=\"default-card wp-block-t2-wrapper\">\n<a class=\"t2-post-link wp-block-t2-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/blaisvatnet-the-blue-lake-is-a-gem-in-the-lyngen-alps\/\">\n<div class=\"t2-post-dynamic-part is-source-filter filter-default_card wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\">\n\t\t<figure style=\"--t2-focal-point: 50% 50%;\" class=\"t2-post-featured-image has-image-ratio-16-9 wp-block-t2-post-dynamic-part\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6L9A1748blaisvatn-768x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-region\">\n\t\t\t\tLyngenfjord\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Bl\u00e5isvatnet &#8211;
