Kjerringtind, at 1395 meters above sea level, offers a breathtaking view from its summit. You’ll get a panoramic vista of Røssvatnet and Oksttindan to the north-east, Hattfjeldal in the south and Geittinden towards Vefsn in the west.

When you’re starting from the parking lot, head west and push through the forest until you reach the ridge. From there, turn north and follow the ridge all the way to the top. The ascent is steady and gentle, and most of it is in a less than 30-degree incline up the ridge.
