One of the most committing objectives in the Hjørundfjord wilderness. The name (Butter Avalanche Peak) tells you everything about the terrain character — sustained steep faces on all sides. A serious ski mountaineering objective for experienced alpinists only.
Approach from Bjørke in Hjørundfjord — long valley approach
Full alpine kit required: rope, glacier equipment
Multiple serious avalanche slopes on approach and descent
Remote terrain — self-rescue capability essential
Reserve for a multi-day stable weather window
Very high — steep faces on all aspects, the most committing in the area
“The name says it all — Butter Avalanche Peak. For those who've graduated from the guidebook routes. Deep in the Hjørundfjord wilderness, committing terrain and profound solitude.”
“We spent two days getting to the base, one perfect day on the mountain. The ski descent was the best we've ever had. The most serious objective in Sunnmøre.”
