Stage 7 of the High Coast Trail covers 9.9 km from Skoved to Skuleberget, with 391 m of ascent and 374 m of descent. The highest point is 285 m. Allow about 4.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.

Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear in the official trail guidebook or on OpenStreetMap but not on a current official listing or their own website. The trail huts and wind shelters are free, cannot be booked and must be shared, so carry a tent. Hostels, B&Bs and campsites in the villages have only a few rooms and many open only in summer: book ahead for June to August.
Emergency: call 112 and ask for the police for a lost or injured hiker. Medical advice: 1177. Emergency & health guide
