You should allow a couple of hours to get up and down Mount Tyven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A three-hour circular walk takes in Mount Storfjellet and Mylingen and goes through varied terrain, starting at Hammerfest Airport, and climbing the 384 metre-high Mount Steinfjellet.

Several times a week, the local Bygderuta express ferry sails from Hammerfest to the little communities on the island. You can either take the ferry, do some walking and take the boat back, or stay the night in one of the attractive accommodation alternatives the island has to offer.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Lotre, where the ferry stops, you can follow a road for 8 km (4.9 miles) right across the island to Sand\u00f8ybotn on the outer side of S\u00f8r\u00f8ya. There is accommodation here and a number of hiking routes to explore. The walk round Mount Sandfjellet can be taken as a day trip from Hammerfest, depending on the ferry timetable. The route goes across a low isthmus in the narrowest part of S\u00f8r\u00f8ya. Sweeping sand dunes, hay meadows and even lush green woods of low-growing birch adorn the landscape on what is a relatively easy walk. The most challenging hike goes from Akkarfjord to Kj\u00f8ttvikvarden and up to Tarhalsen. The ascent to Kj\u00f8ttvikvaren, a 12-metre-high stone cairn built in 1850 as a landmark for fishermen, is relatively easy, and you will find yourself high above the Arctic Ocean. It\u2019s a rather more airy hike out towards the northern tip of S\u00f8r\u00f8ya, to Tarhalsen, but you will be rewarded with wonderful views and a varied landscape of rock formations and coastal vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" data-size=\"x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" data-full-url=\"\" data-caption=\"\" \/>\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=\"\" data-size=\"x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" data-full-url=\"\" data-caption=\"\" \/>\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=\"\" data-size=\"x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" data-full-url=\"\" data-caption=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-seiland-you-ll-find-true-wilderness\">On Seiland you&#8217;ll find true wilderness  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seiland, Norway\u2019s seventh largest island, and with its own superb national park, has fewer than 150 inhabitants. The dramatic landscape of peaks, fjords and glaciers offers challenging hikes for more experienced hikers. In the little coastal village of K\u00e5rhamn, on the northern tip of the island, near Hammerfest, there is excellent overnight accommodation and you can get a meal and refreshments. K\u00e5rhamn is the starting point for several hikes to the peaks in the area, which rise to 8-900 metres (about 2,600-2,900ft) above sea level. You are advised not to attempt glacier hiking without a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/query\" data-wp-key=\"0\" data-wp-router-region=\"query-0\"
