Getabergen – Åland’s Hidden Gem of Adventure and Views

Tucked away on the northern tip of Åland lies Getabergen – a modest peak just over 100 meters high that offers one of the most breathtaking vistas in the Nordic region. Despite its low elevation, the panoramic views from the top are anything but small. With minimal light pollution, the sunsets over the vast expanse of the Norrhavet (Northern Sea) are simply magical – a spectacle that lingers in your memory long after the sun dips below the horizon.

​

At the summit, you’ll find Soltuna Restaurant, a beloved local spot serving traditional Åland dishes, and a collection of cozy cottages for rent – the perfect base for exploring the area. But Getabergen is much more than a scenic viewpoint; it’s a hub for outdoor adventure.

For bouldering enthusiasts, Getabergen is a true paradise. The area boasts four major crags, offering some of the best bouldering routes in all of Europe. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned climber, there are challenges waiting for you. You can rent crash pads on-site and even book a shuttle and guide service directly from the airport – making it incredibly easy for climbers flying into Åland (via Arlanda) to dive straight into the action.
 

Disc golf fans won’t be disappointed either. The 18-hole course at Getabergen is one of the island’s finest, featuring several spectacular signature holes with sweeping sea views. Legends of the sport like Avery Jenkins (former world champion), Seppo Paju, and Väinö Mäkälä have all played here, leaving behind stories and scores that inspire the next generation.

​

For those who prefer a slower pace, Getabergen also features a network of hiking trails, ideal for nature lovers who want to soak in the island’s rugged beauty at their own rhythm.

Just a short journey to the east lies the Havsvidden Resort, known for its dramatic seafront accommodations perched on the cliffs above Norrhavet. Whether you're here for a weekend escape, an adrenaline-fueled climbing trip, or a peaceful night under the stars, Getabergen and its surroundings promise an unforgettable Åland experience.
