Experiences in nature
The residents of Hadsel are really privileged, almost spoiled, when it comes to incredible, yet accessible natural experiences.
Some like to enjoy the views of the majestic Trollfjord, craggy mountains like iconic Møysalen or turquois waves that crash into shore at the beaches with grains of sands white as milk. A car, bike or boat will take you to different viewpoints, each more spectacular than the next.
The surroundings are an Eldorado for those who wishes to utilise the landscape actively. Steep mountain walls are waiting to be conquered or jumped out off, if you are one of those who dare to use a paraglider. However, to reach most of the destinations one does not need anything but a good pair of shoes and some reasonable distance from the steepest cliffs. For those who prefer technical climbing with ropes and harness, there are several routes waiting to be explored, both outdoors and indoors.
Kayakers and skiers can be seen almost side by side, even though they normally operate in different seasons. If you like longer distances, whether it is running or cycling, it should be mentioned that a tour around Hadseløya is precisely the distance of a marathon.
There a few places in the country, or even the world, where the shoreline and mountain peaks are this accessible at the same time. Just enjoy the ride!
