Vegatrappa hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This hut is perfectly nestled in the middle of the rocks to enjoy a wide open view on the sea from a nice wooden terrace with tables and benches.

View of Vega Island from Vegatreppen

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top of the Vegatrappa ladder, you can enjoy an exceptional and unique view of the coast, Vegatrappa Island, and the open sea. You can see the sea stretching far into the distance toward the far north. It is a particularly striking place and moment.

Steep wooden ladder

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

This last section of the Vegatrappa ladders is particularly impressive. It is very steep and winds its way through a narrow passage between two rock faces. The view is incredible. If you are prone to vertigo, it is best to stop before this last section.

Ravnfloget Vegatrappa

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

My hike up the Vegatrappa (13.05.2026) got stopped twice. First by a closed signboard Stengt/Closed and second on an alternative route by a destroyed stairway. I was already puzzeled by leaving the Komoot track wandering about the right direction but as you can only follow the stairs I attributed the deviations to the level of correctness the App can provide. Wrong!

Reality is, massive rock slides have destroyed the upper part of the stairways making it unwise to proceed.

There is hardly any conclusive public information available to make people aware of the same. Sad! Understanding that Vegatrappa plays a major part in attracting tourists to the island might contribute to the media silence on this fact. However, I have to emphasis, that a good part of the stairway is still in excellent conditions and offers great distance views not only towards Søla Island. Perfect place for a Coffee & Cake break (BYO).
