A dramatic peak rising directly from the Hjørundfjord. The near-sea-level start gives an incredible fjord-to-summit experience. Stunning exposure and views but with manageable terrain for experienced tourers.
Start from fjord level near Øye
Steady climb through forest then open terrain
Summit views straight down to Hjørundfjord
Descend same route or explore east variants
Works well as a boat-assisted approach
Moderate — steep sections above treeline
“Rising from fjord level to 1 073 m — this is what ski touring in Norway is about. The proximity to Øye and the Union Hotel makes it special.”
“A boat approach from Hellesylt in early morning light, then straight up. The vertical drop back to the fjord is unforgettable.”
