Overview

Keiservarden is a real classic for the people of Bodø. This mountain plateau is Bodø’s most visited hiking destination and is renowned for the wonderful views of the city, sea and the Lofoten islands. Keiservarden is one of the best places to experience the Midnight Sun. Keiservarden is the number one hiking destination for many in Bodø. Keiservarden is 366 m above sea level and climbing to the summit is not a very demanding hike. The view from the top – you might be able to see the silhouette of the Lofoten, the islands of Værøy and Røst (the two outermost islands in Lofoten). To the east you will see the many peaks of the spectacular Børvasstind mountain range and the mountains near the Swedish border. Stone stairs – several alternative routes lead to the top. In 2016 Sherpas from Nepal built stone stairs along our route, which saves the terrain from wear.

Itinerary

Keiservarden is a real classic for the people of Bodø. This mountain plateau is Bodø’s most visited year-round hiking destination and is renowned for the wonderful views of the city and the sea. Keiservarden is also one of the best places to see both the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. See the Northern Lights & the Midnight Sun? Keiservarden is a year-round hiking destination. If weather permits, Keiservarden is a very good spot to see both the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. Not at the same time of course. Stone stairs – several alternative routes lead to the top. In 2016 Sherpas from Nepal built stone stairs along our route, which saves the terrain from wear. This also makes the hike both easier and more fun. Keiservarden and the path are seldom deserted, so be prepared to meet the locals from Bodø on your way. Keiservarden (The Emperor`s Cairn) is named after German Emperor Wilhelm II, who visited the hilltop in 1891 on one of his visits to Norway. On the top there is both a plaque in honor of Wilhelm IIs climb and a board telling about it.

Absolutely brilliant

Published on Oct, 2023

It was a great time, fun hike to do and very accessible. Ivar is an absolutely great guide, volunteered so much information and even tips & recommendations on what to do in the city itself besides fun facts on the region and surroundings, he was very patient as well as flexible, I absolutely enjoyed every bit of it.

We didn't go to Keiserverdan due to weather... instead we got snowshoeing, photo taking and an equally fun daytrip

Published on Mar, 2023

Ivar is an experienced guide and his trip was well organized. He contacted me one day before the trip to check out if I got the proper equipments (and he never hesitated to provide suitable clothing and equipments such as woolen socks if needed ). I had originally signed up for a trip to Keisersverdan but the weather was too cold and windy, so Ivar changed the plan immediately ,and I got a nice trip to the a forest and frozen lake with snowshoeing, plus some photo taking around beaches and villages around Bodo instead. Hot drinks and snacks were served in the middle to keep everyone warm and energized. Thr activities were fun and we had a nice chat as Ivar drove us around Even a beginner like me could enjoy to day trip to the fullest. Definitely recommended fot travelers to Bodo

A must do on your trip to Bodo

Published on Nov, 2019

I had a lovely winter hike with my guide Ivar. He was very informative about the area. The view from the top was spectacular. I am looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the area when I am more time.
