Høgtuva is especially worth visiting on a clear weather day. If you drive into Rauvassdalen, towards Melfjordbotn, you will reach the base of the mountain Høgtuva. Here, you will be rewarded with an impressive view of the sea, island peaks, and the Svartisen Glacier. The hike up takes approximately 3-3.5 hours at a steady pace. Follow the ridge up and ski down the snow-filled, wide couloir for a fantastic descent.
Always check the weather forecast and avalanche forecast before embarking on a summit trip.
