How to get there:
We started from the DNT self service hut of Haldorbu, there
are several other possible starting points.
Route description:
We skied from Haldorbu north and climbed Hyllefjellet,
which is right below South Langsuen. From there
we descended into the saddle between South and North Langsuen, and climbed
onto the south ridge of North Langsuen, which we followed, keeping right below
the ridgeline until we'd zig-zagged onto the summit plateau.
From the summit we followed the main ridge north for a bit more than one
kilometer, before turning right and descending the northeast face of Langsuen
down to Raudgrovtjønn (1259m). From here we skied for about 3 kilometers
to Storkvelvbu (another DNT hut), the route is obvious if you use a map and
compass.
Comments:
We climbed this mountain as a part of a five day trip from our cabin in
Lillehammer.
At the summit we were hit by a storm, and the last few
kilometers to Storkvelvbu it was hard to keep on one's feet because of the wind.
The view from the summit was exceptional.
