1616. The Hiorthfjellet Hike, Norway
Travel to the Norwegian archipelago named Svalbard. Located in the Arctic Ocean, it is here you will complete a strenuous adventure including over five kilometers of kayaking and almost nine kilometers of hiking. Set aside a good 11 hours for this athletic event in this remote location.
It all begins in Svalbard’s largest settlement known as Longyearbyen. Here reindeer wander around town, there are more snowmobiles than residents, and the streets have no name. From here you kayak ‘cross Adventfjord and hike to the very summit of rugged Hiorthfjellet. If you want to avoid snow, best visit before the end of June.
