The hike starts at the parking lot by the school in Aldersundet. Pass through the fence gate, and follow the forest road, which also operates as a floodlit trail for skiing in the winter, until you get to a small grill hut. From here there are signs pointing you in the direction of Åstuva.

Åstuva is a smaller hillock, situated at about 350-meter ascent, and is a great hike in and of itself if you’re looking for a shorter hike. If your destination is the taller mountain Klubben, the trip up to Åstuva is a small detour. But the view is just as amazing, making it an ideal spot to pause and enjoy a refreshing break on your way up, so taking this detour is highly recommended.
When you’re continuing your way up to Klubben, just backtrack on the path for a short while, before you continue your ascent up along the ridge of the mountain. From this point, the hike isn’t marked, but as long as you follow the mountain ridge you will find a trodden path to the top. There are some exposed sections on the trail, so walk carefully, and be especially cautious if the terrain is wet and slippery.
Please note that the route shown on the map is only an approximation, you will need to make your own path decisions based on the terrain
