A hike to Virvatnet lake can be extended by continuing along the Vindelvaggileden, a long well-marked trail with cabins en route, to the village of Ammarnes in Sweden (a total distance of 90 km).
To reach the trailhead for Virvatnet, head north on highway E6 from Krokstrand. After 2 km, take the turnoff to Virvassdalen and drive 20 km up the valley until the end of the road. A 5-km hike along the well-marked trail takes you Virvatnet lake.
This easy hike makes a great family outing.
Virvatnet lake offers great fishing, and has lots of char which make for an excellent campfire dinner. The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) has a cabin by the lake that you can book in advance.
