Itinerary description
|
A beautiful excursion to do from Andalsnes. Of the best in the area.
The route is not circular, but as if it were, because the transport issue is easily solved. From Andalsnes a specific bus leaves daily to make this route that leaves you in Vengedal, just where you have to start walking. The bus is picked up at the train / bus station at 9:30, and the ticket is bought there or online (visitandalsnes.com). The day we did it we found a huge queue. We went half an hour early and it was a bit stressful. Either you arrive earlier or you buy better online. The truth is that then there was no transportation problem. There were many people, but they sell the tickets equally, and they do not leave anyone on the ground. They put up three buses to take everyone. That is, not to worry.
Then the route ends in the same city of Andalnes, about 5-10 minutes walking from where we took the bus.
I catalog the route as Moderate, since it has a couple of steps that you have to climb. It is not complicated, but you have to take it into account if you are very apprehensive or suffer from vertigo. In another case, it is done without problem. The route is very popular and you will find a lot of people doing it.
Actually the route has two possibilities. The one I put here is the classic one. There is another simpler one (that they denominate familiar route), denominated Romsdalseggen via Hognosa. You can pick up a brochure at the train / bus station, which explains a bit both.
The route is very popular. If you get a sunny day, a lot of people do it, but it does not matter. It is essential if you like the mountain and you walk around the area. The views are impressive, of the glacial valleys and the fjord.

Ruta espectacular por las vistas al río(un pequeño meandro),fiordo y Andalsness.Caminar por la cresta es una gozada. Empezamos con niebla, pero afortunadamente se disipó y pudimos ver las vistas.
El camino es técnico sólo en algunos tramos, trepadas. Nosotros fuimos con perro y sin problema,aunque hay que ayudarle a subir en dos pasos.
Nos sirvió de mucha ayuda la descripción de Alfwik.
Ruta recomendable 100%.

Difficult
Esta ruta es preciosa y las vistas son excepcionales. Sin embargo, diría que es algo más que moderado de nivel de dificultad. Requiere bastante esfuerzo y la bajada es larga con muchísima pendiente.
Fuimos con un perro y pudimos ir hasta el primer pico ayudándolo pero luego hubo un paso que fue imposible hacer con el perro. Supongo que depende del perro—el nuestro es muy ágil pero pesa 36 kilos y en algunos sitios es imposible que el perro vaya sin que lo levantes (entre dos personas). En el sitio donde tuvimos que dar la vuelta tendríamos que haber levantado el perro a la vez que coger con dos manos dos cadenas para apoyarnos.
Repito que la ruta es súper chula y vale la pena hacerla si estás en forma para hacer rutas complicaditas, pero me lo pensaría mejor antes de llevar a tu perro.
Cómo volvisteis al lugar de salida?
Para ir al punto en el que comienza la caminata hay que coger un autobús en Andalsnes, en la estación del tren. Es un autobús específico para esta ruta. Luego la ruta te lleva caminando de nuevo a Andalsnes.
Supongo que también se pueda hacer al revés, es decir, ir en coche hasta donde empieza la ruta, y luego volver en un autobús hasta el aparcamiento desde Andalsnes. No lo sé, nosotros lo hicimos como te indico en los comentarios de la ruta. En cualquier caso, hay información sobre estos autobuses en Internet, en visitandalsnes.com.
Entendido, mil gracias !
Anímate y disfruta la ruta.
