You know how much I love hiking, but this week I’ve had this enormous longing to be out and about, even I’m surprised. It could be mosquito related though – there are none. We’ve already had night frost and it’s not that warm during the day either. Gloves are a must-have. In other words, it’s…

The main attraction of our little vacation is the Romsdalseggen hike. The best (and most popular) option is to take a bus from Åndalsnes to Venjesdalen, so you can hike back to Åndalsnes where the trail finishes right next to the parking lot where we left the car. Very practical! When you hit the trail,…

Roaldstöten is a strange looking small peak next to Blåstöten. I’ve wanted to summit it for a while now, mostly because I’ve wanted to see what it looks like up close. But in the long term, I also want to summit all the named peaks in the Anåfjället massif, and now I have two left…

I don’t want to leave. The lake was mirror calm in the morning and the sun was warm. I couldn’t imagine a better place to be right then! But then again, hiking in this weather through the spectacular Lunndörren was also something I looked forward to. The blister I got yesterday made some noise when…

The clouds were low in the morning, but it wasn’t raining any more. I was going to do a hike to Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) and the Issjödalen valley but since I had the whole day on me, I wasn’t in a hurry to leave while there wasn’t much landscape to be seen. So I just…

Many many years ago I heard about a geological formation called Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) in the Vålådalen nature reserve. I’ve wanted to see them ever since, but as always, I just don’t get it done. About four years ago I even drew a route, but I still didn’t get the actual trip done. And when…

The plan was for the guides to check out the weather at 4am and then wake us up if it looked good. I woke up long before that and saw how it was flashing outside – it was a no-brainer that we wouldn’t be going out early as scheduled, no way the guides would risk…

We had the morning off, because today’s hike will be a short one. But do not mistake that for a boring one, because it’s now that we’ll start reaching completely new heights! It didn’t start very well for me though. I slept really bad because my stomach was aching – and I never have stomach ache.…

It’s another overcast day, but not raining. In other words, not many views to be seen but it’s perfect for hiking! We had some help to get started, we took a minibus to the trail head at around 1500m (the village is at 1200m). I don’t know what happened overnight, but my knees are feeling…

The clouds were low in the morning, no peaks visible. It’s still quite warm though (and humid), so shorts and t-shirt is plenty enough for hiking. As we got higher on the mountain, we were in the cloud and visibility was reduced to less than 50m at times. The group was keeping a fast pace…
