Reinebringen

Reinebringen is a mountain in the Lofoten archipelago, situated on the island of Moskenesøya in Moskenes municipality, Nordland county, Norway. It rises to approximately 448 metres above sea level and is renowned for its steep ascent and panoramic views over the Reinefjord and the villages of Reine and Hamnøy.

The popular ascent follows a steep hillside along a route that features extensive wooden staircases and switchbacks installed to protect the slope and guide hikers. The hike is roughly 4 kilometres round trip, with an elevation gain of about 450 metres, and is generally considered strenuous. The stairs have been built and maintained over the years to manage erosion and provide a safer ascent for climbers.

From the summit, visitors can see the Reinefjord, the fishing village of Reine, and surrounding peaks such as Vågakallen and other prominent formations in the Lofoten landscape. The hike is a common subject for photography and has a reputation as one of the standout viewpoints in Lofoten.

Practical notes: Weather in Lofoten can change rapidly; the path can be exposed and slippery when wet. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear, bring appropriate clothing, and be prepared for changing conditions. The route is best attempted in daylight during the summer; check local advisories for any maintenance closures before planning a hike.
