Himmeltind, or Himmeltindan, is the highest mountain on the island of Vestvågøya in Lofoten and is an impressive sight, although not as prominent as some of the other peaks there. The mountain itself consists of several peaks, the highest at 964m cannot be climbed due to a military radar station.
This leaves the 931m high southern summit as a worthwhile goal. There are views from above of the famous Haukland Beach, the beach and small coastal town of Utakleiv, as well as to the south towards the island of Vestvågøya and the island of Flakstadøya. On a clear day you can see as far as the mainland.
Since the summit can often be covered in clouds, the tour should definitely be done when the weather is nice in order to be able to enjoy the views. The tour is very popular with tourists and locals and therefore also more frequented.
