The Vega Stairs
Vega’s most magnificent ascent: the famous wooden staircase to the top of Ravnfloget.
From sea to summit
Almost at the seafront at Sundsvoll, the ascent to Ravnfloget begins, a rugged mountain that has mostly been a playground for ravens and sea eagles.
First a path with bumps, small stairs and bridges before you reach the Vega stairs. The famous staircase is built of wood with good steps, close to 2000 pieces, and railings.
There are picnic areas and unique artistic animal figures along the way and the views are strikingly beautiful all the way. At the top there is a gapahuk and spectacular views of the sea, islets, islands and the Vegaøyan World Heritage Site.
Almost 2000 steps
Vegatrappa is constructed from durable royal-impregnated timber, featuring nearly 2000 well-crafted steps. The staircase is built with care to ensure a comfortable ascent and to make you feel secure with sturdy handrails available throughout the journey.
The climb also doubles as a mini art walk: along the way, you can enjoy artistic animal installations and take breaks at beautiful rest areas. The spectacular view provides a wonderful experience all the way up, even in bad weather.
Rewarding views at the top
At the top, you can rest in a magnificent shelter and enjoy the spectacular view of the sea in all directions, with islets and islands in the Vega Archipelago World Heritage Site.
Norwegian broadcaster, NRK Nordland, has visited Vegatrappa and made a videoreport about Vegas’ best uphill.
