Marked trails on Vega
Vega has 16 destinations around the island where you can register and collect points (in a lottery). In addition there are marked trails from Viksås to Holand (17) and to Vefsn-Anna cave at Eidem (18). Starting point for most trails are the red-trimmed signposts marked "Turløype" along the roadside.
At some of the destinations (Gullsvågfjellet, Kjulsveten, Sundsvoll, Guristraumen, Trollvasstind, Einesvika, Floaksla and Vegdalskaret) you will find information boards. Some of the information (map, distance, difficulty level and elevation profile) can be downloaded at www.dintur.no: Quick search / check Hiking / Free text search: Vega. Choose one of the destinations (ex. Igerøy brygge), click Hiking, click on the route name. These routes are tracked by GPS and mobile GPS systems (on which the routes are already saved) can be rented directly from your host.
At the destinations you'll find a built-in box with a red screw cap (except from trails no. 17 and 18). Inside is a pencil box with a book and a pen. For each walk you complete, put down your name, the date and your age in the book. When you get home you can enter the destinations, dates and points on a separate registration paper. The paper can be printed out here (pdf) or you can get it in the sports shop at Gladstad. If you want to participate in IL Vega's lottery you deliver the paper to Torleif Hansen in the sports shop before you leave the island.
Here is a list of destinations (see map), time and degree of difficulty.
