Staircase facts
We've chosen to include some staircases that aren't "classic sherpa staircases", since wood and metal staircases can obviously serve the same purpose — making it easier for people to get up into the mountains. Vegatrappa and Midnattsoltrappa are good examples of staircases that do the same job as a "classic sherpa staircase", just in wood.
This site is meant as an overview of all the longer hiking staircases in Norway, not just stone staircases built by sherpas from Nepal.
Jøatrappa is located on the west side of the island of Jøa in Namsos municipality. It was the local sports club Jøa IL that took the initiative to have the staircase up Ramnfjellet built. The staircase is built of wood, has 932 steps, and leads up to the viewpoint "Olav Duun-platået" (the Olav Duun Plateau). If you want a longer hike, you can continue on over Ramnfjellet and Dunafjellet, on a path called Eventyrstien (the Fairytale Path).
There should be toilet facilities at the parking area.
Round trip to the Olav Duun Plateau is about 2.3 km and 200 meters of elevation gain
Eventyrstien is about 5.4 km and 340 meters of elevation gain (note: not a loop trip)
