- Reviews

Combine running and sailing on Senja's rugged coast. This unique trip uses Norrøna's own sailboat Varg to bypass roads and reach elite mountain trails. Our flexible itinerary adapts to conditions, ensuring the perfect balance between the challenge of trail running and the tranquility of a fjord-side anchorage. This is your chance to conquer Senja's peaks and discover its wildest side, far from the ordinary tourist path.

This trip is a Norrøna x SALTY Trailrunning adventure and the guide for this trip is our own Norrøna Ambassador and Co-Founder of SALTY Trailrunning Stephan Ehrmeier.

Highlights

  • Run the trails to spectacular peaks starting from quiet trailheads.
  • Reach remote trailheads and mountain paths 
  • Indulge in freshly prepared meals made with local ingredients
  • Recover with a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear Arctic waters
  • Enjoy quiet nights embraced by the beauty of Senja’s coastal wilderness.

Day 2-3:Running days

For the next two days it is all about running some epic trails with breathtaking views. The morning starts with breakfast onboard whilst we decide on the itinerary for the day. We will take weather and conditions into consideration when planning the routes. We have some different options to choose between; a morning session and an afternoon session or one long run. Senja offers a huge variety of trails and we are sure to get an experience of a lifetime. There will also be time for a technique session. After the runs we will return to the boat for “after-run” with a sauna and our woodfired bathtub in the evening. Dinner is served onboard each evening. As the days are long and bright in the north of Norway we also have the option of going for an evening run to enjoy the midnight sun.
