View of Hesten and Snow-Covered Mountains

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's not easy to find the way in winter and we weren't hiking without snowshoes. Next time we'll definitely take them with us in our backpack, because at times we sank waist-deep in the snow 🤔

View of Segla and Mefjord, Senja

Highlight • Viewpoint

The hottest is Segla's neighboring mountain, where most of the well-known photos of neighboring Segla were taken.

Apart from the Segla, the Hesten offers a wonderful view over the Mefjord in the west and the mountain Inste Kongen and the valley Korkedalen in the north.

The trail is very popular and can be expected to be busy regardless of the season. The summit of the Hesten is not for people with a fear of heights. But even from a little further below the summit you still have a great view of Segla and the surrounding mountains.

We have almost gotten used to the sights of the fjords. The view from the top of Hesten on Segla, which rises like a wedge between Mefjorden and Ørnfjorden, gives the whole thing a new perspective.
The steel blue sky is not deceptive, temperatures are climbing to almost 30°C today. Nice that there is a fresh wind blowing upstairs.

Start from the school parking lot, through town to the Hesten Trailhead. Definitely do the circular route on the ridge to the fjord! We didn't do the summit, you should be a bit experienced with easy climbing.

Today we arrived on Senja, Norway's second-largest island. We started our hike from the village of Fjordgård. The starting point was the paid hiking parking lot located by the fjord. Shortly after the last houses, we followed the turnoff to Hesten Mountain. We climbed familiar paths with roots and rocks. Almost at the top, we encountered snow. Across a scree …

Hiked this route on June 1, 2025. Tough hike, because there was still a thick layer of snow in some places. Climbed the Hesten, top clockwise but can also be done counterclockwise. After that a bit of a descent via a ridge to the foot of the Hesla. Then partly via a bit of an alternative route back to the …

June 21, 2025,🇧🇻 Senja: Auf den Hesten 🚶‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️☀️

In perfect hiking weather, we hiked from Fjordgård to Hesten. First through a birch "forest," then steeper to the saddle between Hesten and Staveltippen. The trail gets even steeper toward the summit. Inexperienced hikers from the lowlands will find themselves out of breath 🥵! From the top, you have a truly impressive view 🤩 of the Mefjord and, above all, …
