Itinerary description
Nice loop. Beautiful Beach and mountain top. 5 hours including 60 minutes lunch near the beach and 2 minor stops.
There is a small parking lot were the path uphill starts, but in August is was very full. So we parked 500 m before that, which was convenient when we descended from the more northern route.
Paths are quite slippery, so bring good boots.
To reach the beach, you'll have to cross a saddle, and then descend to the beach (1.5 hours).
From Kvalvika beach the first half of the climb onto the Rytten mountain is quite steep. Beautiful views from the top (as everywhere on the Lofoten).
Alternatively, you can go back like you came.
I think that the other way around (north to south) the descend from Rytten to the beach is more difficult due to its steepness (we saw some people turning back).
