Starting point
Parking at Reinehalsen, Hesthaugen or Reine Ytre havn (see map).
Directions
Take the E10 to the fishing village Reine in Moskenes municipality in Lofoten.
Tour description
The trip to Reinebringen starts at Reinehalsen (see map). From here, follow the path on the outside of the guardrail along the E10 to the tunnel. From there, follow the old road on the outside of the tunnel almost to the tunnel opening on the other side.
There is an information sign both at the parking lot at Reinehalsen, and at the sherpa stairs at the start of the trail.
You mostly walk up the sherpa stairs where it winds its way up the mountainside. In several places, benches have been made where you can sit down to rest and enjoy the view.
It remains to make approx. 150 steps the last bit of the path up to the top. This part of the stairs is planned to be made in 2022. The surface here today is soil and stone. It can be loose stone and gravel in dry weather, and slippery when wet.
Highlights of the trip
There are three highlights of the trip.
1. To get up all the steps, and the path, all the way to the top.
2. To enjoy the great view, both along the way and at the top!
3. To be down again. 😉
Difficulty and Time Usage
The trip is demanding. This is not considered a family trip. Requires good footwear with preferably a rough pattern under the sole. The trip up takes approx. 1 hour.
