This is a trip for those who have done hiking before or practice on a weekly basis. You will meet with the guide at Tjugen camping for a safety briefing for the day and get a good overview of what to expect.
On the first part, we go in the lush and dreamy spruce trees before they thin out and we come up against the tree line. The first part of the trail we follow a wide and old road, some of the parts are renovated by sherpas from Nepal. The guide has good local knowledge and will among other things, tell the whole story of how and why the Skåla Tower was built from scratch. Once up on top we are rewarded with views of The Sunnmøre alps, Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen.
