Sandhornet Ascent
Highlight (Segment) • Summit
Some claim the trek up to Sandhornet to be the finest in the Gildeskål region. The peak certainly draws the eye with its pointed summit. The views reward your efforts with Lofoten, Steigen, Værøy, Røst, Træna on the Helgeland coast and Svartisen all visible from the top on a clear day.
