AVALANCHE EXPOSURE

Moderate — glacier adds complexity

The most popular summit in the Sunnmøre Alps for good reason. Outstanding views, excellent skiing, multiple route options — it delivers every time.

ut.no, most-reviewed peak in region

The glacier descent to Kvanndalen is the route that separates Kolås from every other peak here. Technical but unforgettable.
