Please note that the route shown is approximate, and that skiers should use their own judgement and expertise to make decisions about which path to take based on the terrain and snow conditions.

The first part of the walk goes over a flat marshland, before the ascent begins through fir forest and after each mountain birch, before the terrain opens up above the tree line. Parts of the route have been cleared of forest.

This is a snow-sure mountain that often offers nice loose snow, and without having to go into avalanche terrain. Nevertheless, check the avalanche warning and make independent assessments and take account of possible avalanche danger.

From the top of the Kveldstuva you will be rewarded with a lovely view towards the Okstind massif and Lukttinden.

Remember to check the weather forecast and the avalanche warning on the same day as the trip.
