The recommended route goes from the parking lot at the North Cape directly up to Nedre Skinnstakk. From here you can return via Steinlegda and further down towards Klubbfjellvatnet, where there is a shelter by the water. The round trip provides a varied mountain experience without making the trip more complicated than necessary.

Nedre Skinnstakk is relevant in the Narvik region because the trip shows a quieter side of the mountains around Ofoten: real, open and close to nature. Here, it is not major interventions that dominate, but paths, water, grazing animals and mountain terrain that require common mountain sense and respect for the area.
