Information:
How to get there:
This peak is a bit inaccessible from roads, but a very good trailhead
can be reached by boat. A good approach is to stay at Vevelstad Gjestegård, rent
a boat there and use it to get to the small place Aursletta at the innermost part of
the fjord named Visten. Vevelstad is located along Hwy. 17, just south of the ferry connection
to Tjøtta.
Route description:
First, go by boat in the long fjord Visten, you pass a narrow section and continue into the
inner Visten. There is a small floating pier, leave your boat there, be certain to ask
permission in advance. (Ask the party that rents you the boat.)
This location is N65.63143, E012.74717.
Walk uphill, slightly left and find the local forest road that heads gently uphill and into
the forest. Follow this road until you arrive at a road fork at location
N65.62805, E012.72246, elevation approximately 50 meter. Take the left fork, this road
ends very shortly, a small trail continues into the little valley. As you face up this
small valley, ascend the ridge on your right hand side. Follow along the top
of this ridge, the terrain is open and hiking here is easy.
