Information:


How to get there:
Drive E-16 from Bergen to Evanger. Fork left here and drive the very scenic road up the valley and across the mountains to Nesheim in Eksingedalen. Turn right and drive about 5 kilometer to Trefall. Take the pretty nice gravel road that forks left here and gives easy access to the mountain area. This road was built to facilitate the hydro power production system. Find parking on the north-east side of lake Gavlavatn. This road may be blocked by snow until very late in the summer, but one can normally get quite a long distance already in July. Drive until just passing the dam at lake Skjerjavatnet, ie. its north-east side. This location is near N60.89474, E6.14933, elevation about 980 meter.
Route description:
Follow the south-west ridge to the summit.
Comments:
I did this climb with my friend Harald. The ascent required about one hour, the descent only slightly less. The summit has an impressive cairn.
