Itinerary description

|
Show original
We left from Gravermark, where a friendly countryman with a digger makes a hole for us to clear the snow. We go up a street to a house, from where red marks begin to take us into the forest, on a specific stage we take off our shoes to pass a rocky stretch, we continue in a rightward tendency to arrive near a ravine (Gravermarkdalen) where we left forest.

A few zetas in powder snow take us to a higher plateau, from where we can see the summit in front of us. We turned north to win a previous pass that gives way to huge shovels that raise us little by little. The views are great towards Gimsoy-Straumen and the island of Gimsoya behind us.

Thus we arrive at an antecima that after passing it we pass to the north slope of the summit before the last zetas to reach the summit of the Sydalsfjellet (736m).

From the top the views leave us speechless !!! Fjords everywhere, the sea, sharp peaks, ... one last. Taking advantage of the good condition of the snow, authentic Norwegian powder! We descend to the North towards Lake Trolldalsvatnet, until the snow appears frozen ...

From there we go back to the antecima, to descend, now yes, to Gravermark, but for somewhat steeper slopes, in this descent the snow is a little heavier. We enjoy until we reach the forest, in the absence of 90m of unevenness we have to take off our shoes, and we carry the last meters.
