Matmora is the 788-metre (2,585 ft) summit of what is a stunning ridge traverse, with some photogenic pinnacles that lean across the void. Narrow, airy and spectacular, it's a real highlight of the Lofoten Long Crossing long-distance trail. Expect superb views across the archipelago's jagged peaks and down to Grunnførfjorden.

Hiking

It is worth climbing up from the north (hiking car park => Plus Code CG23+G2) as you have a wonderful view of the sandbank for long stretches. If possible, I would also plan the hike so that you are at the summit at high tide, as the different colors of the sea are more noticeable then.
