Storhornet i Kvæfjord
658 metres of ascent over 8.22 km from Kvæfjordeidet — the sun tour of the round, along what the source calls Harstad's ever-best-groomed trail up to Koven and a gentle, south-facing ridge beyond. No hundred-metre band measures more than 9.5 degrees, the steepest sustained stretch is 25.8, and the summit has no steep side: all eight sectors measure 6 to 18 degrees mean. The steep ground on this tour exists — the flanks along Vikelandselva — and the trail does not go in it.
Elevation profile
658 metres of ascent and 8.22 km from Kvæfjordeidet along the trail to Koven and the ridge to the cairn, with the treeline at 417 m and the steepest ground — 25.8 degrees between 476 and 494 m — where the ridge begins.
From the big car park at the start of the Kvæfjord trails, west of Bjørklund — 175 m. The trail, groomed by the enthusiasts of Kvæfjordløyper, takes you in: the bands from 200 to 400 m measure 2 to 6 degrees over kilometres, and the forest ends at 417 m after 6.11 km — most of this tour is trail touring.
