AVALANCHE EXPOSURE

High — alpine terrain, glacier, steep faces

Slingsby chose this route for good reason. The highest summit in the area demands the full kit and a stable forecast — it rewards with the widest panorama in Sunnmøre.

Standing on Kvitegga on a clear April day, you can see the entire Sunnmøre arc. Save it for a high-pressure window.
