Enjoy a relatively easy but invigorating hike up Mt. Veten, the highest point on Vågsøy Island. The adventure will begin from the home field stadium for the Tornado Måløy soccer team, and before long you will reach an altitude that will offer a sweeping view of town, nestled along the naturally beautiful coastline. As magnificent as that panorama will be, the sights become even more spectacular the higher you climb. You will follow a trail that is steep in parts, but you can take plenty of breaks to relax and admire the scenery. The guide will point out and describe the most notable landmarks on the way to the summit, which soars more than 2,000 feet high. Depending on the weather conditions, you may see the Kråkenes lighthouse and Selje Island across the Stadhavet Sea. The somewhat smaller peak that you can’t miss is Brurahornet, the second tallest mountain on the island.
