Comments:
I spent the weekend with my friend Jostein at the Vålådalen mountain hut.
Before going back home to Trondheim, we decided to make a short ski trip and this
mountain, clearly visible from the hut, looked like a good destination.
However, with very limited snow cover and rivers still not frozen, it turned out
to be a pretty tough trip involving bushwack (on skis!) as well as a complex river
crossing. We finally arrived on top
close to 1400, and realized that it would get
dark before we were back.
Jostein suggested that we descend to Vallbo rather than skiing back north fighting the
bush. From there, we could walk a "short distance along the road."
The descent was steep and the trail not suitable for skiing. When we reached Vallbo, it turned
out that the walk back to Vålådalen would be close to 9 kilometer.
We finally made it back to our car at 1745 after what seemed like a pretty long walk along
the dark highway.
