Senja, Norway | The MOST Incredible Hike - Husfjellet

We've finally made it to Senja.
This was THE place I was most excited to visit in Norway. And we found the most incredible hike to kick things off in this beautiful area. The notorious Husfellet Hike in Skaland. A landscape photographer's DREAM hike.

I have yet to do a sunset hike here in Europe, and this was the PERFECT hike to do so on. I've been told and have read many things and warnings about the terrain on this hike, and for good reason. I tried documenting it enough to give you some insight on what to expect, and where/how you might be able to dodge the MOST mud I've ever encountered on any hike.

I couldn't imagine doing this hike at any other time than sunset, because the views we were rewarded with will stay with me forever. These were some of the best photographs I have ever taken. Let me know what you think!

Next week is Pt. 6 and the finale of my time in Europe. I won't spoil it.. but I do something that changed my life forever in that episode. SUBSCRIBE and don't miss it!

Great video, thanks for sharing! I will be in Senja in mid November this year. I had in mind to hike to Husfjellet, if the weather is fine, to shoot the night sky/northern lights. I saw in one of your comments that you came down during twilight and that you used the headlamp at the end. Question, please: night starts at a quarter to 6pm and it goes on until 5.30am. If I go up for sunset and I stay one hour at night, in your opinion, would it be reasonable to return with head lamp plus a torch at 7pm? Moon will not be visible at that time. Thanks for your heads up!

Very nice images! Regarding pronounsiation: Husfjell is with a rather long U, not huss😊

Can you give a link to the music you were using?

Hi Elias, congrats for this very nice video. I really liked the two pictures of the Fjord. I’m going to Senja in November and I hope that I’ll be able to do this hike and the one to Hesten. The vibe will be very different since it’ll be the polar night with just a few hours of twilight, but I can’t wait anyway.

Stunning Senja… I’ve been here last week, cloudy days, but this hike was great. Thanks for this beautiful video and photos!

Thanks for posting this, Elias. Nice shots and great job on the video! I'll be headed there on Sept 4th this year and this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of seeing what kind of conditions I can expect. Can't wait for the trip! Very surprised at how wet that hike is in September. I have waterproof boots, so hopefully I can get through there without getting soaked. Kind of concerned about getting back down in the dark! 🫤
