Himalayan Sherpas are building Norway’s Trails!????????????????
You know Norwegian hikes are stunning - Reinebringen, Trolltunga, Segla? But did you know over-tourism was destroying them? Thousands of hikers caused severe erosion, and on Reinebringen alone, four people lost their lives in just seven years.
Norway needed a fix - but not just any fix. They didn’t want to use heavy machinery that could ruin the natural landscape. Instead, they found the perfect solution 5,500 km away in Nepal - the Sherpas.
In 2016, a Sherpa team arrived in Lofoten. Using only hand tools and local stone, they hand-built 1,978 steps on Reinebringen which built a safer, more durable trail that blends seamlessly into the mountain.
But here’s the real game-changer - in Norway, Sherpas earn $200–$300 per day - 20 to 30 times more than in Nepal. This income helps educate their children, improve healthcare, and build homes.
So next time you see those stone staircases on Norway’s trails, remember - they were crafted by hand, step by step, by Sherpas from the Himalayas, preserving nature while securing a better future for their families.
From the Himalayas to the Arctic, this is the Sherpa legacy. ????????➡️????????
