Sherpa Stairs
A scenic stone staircase leading to panoramic views of Honningsvåg and the surrounding fjords - a local favorite hike for all fitness levels.
The Sherpa Stairs in Honningsvåg offer one of the best viewpoints in town. Built by skilled Sherpa craftsmen from Nepal, the stone path winds its way up the hillside just behind the town center.
The hike takes around 20–30 minutes and is suitable for most visitors. From the top, you can enjoy stunning views over Honningsvåg harbor, the mountains of Magerøya, and the open Barents Sea.
The trail is accessible during summer and autumn, while in winter it can be icy and challenging – so check conditions before setting off. Whether you visit during the midnight sun or under the northern lights, the Sherpa Stairs provide a beautiful and peaceful perspective of Arctic life
