De syv søstre, Mountain range in Alstahaug Municipality, Norway.
De syv søstre is a chain of seven prominent peaks along the Norwegian coast, with the highest point reaching about 1070 meters. The mountains form a distinctive outline that is easy to recognize from the water and surrounding valleys.
These mountains have served as natural navigation guides for seafarers for centuries as they travel through the Helgeland region. The peaks became essential visual reference points due to their distinctive shape and position along the coast.
Each peak has its own name and local meaning, with two formations called the Twins holding special significance in the region's traditions. People in the area have used these mountains as everyday reference points for navigation and orientation throughout their lives.
Multiple trails provide access to the different peaks, with parking available near power stations and established trailheads. The area is accessible year-round, but weather conditions and daylight hours should be considered when planning a visit.
The seven mountains mirror themselves in the fjord waters, inspiring the official coat of arms of Alstahaug Municipality. This reflection makes the chain particularly recognizable from both land and water and creates a distinctive mark of local identity.
