Tomma is easiest to reach by car, taking a scenic drive followed by a ferry from Nesna. Upon arrival with the ferry, take a right turn towards Forsland and look for a suitable parking spot that won’t obstruct others. In case of doubt, don’t hesitate to ask the locals. From there, follow a tractor road up to Forslandsvatnet, and keep to the east side of the lake as you turn north towards the imposing east ridge of Tomskjevelen.
