Itinerary description
|
First the inconvenience:
1) The access path to the Snoheim refuge is prohibited for private vehicles
2) Bus access is required
3) The bus is not free: 50NOK per way and per person
4) The bus is infrequent (5 per day)
That said, if you have the budget and the organizational constraints are in the timing, Snohetta is worth the detour.
It is a round trip by the same "way". We can not really talk about a path. The course is VERY stone. The "red T's" are there to give a general indication of the direction but do not indicate the existence of a path.
Count around 2:30 for the first summit, Storetoppen, and a small 1 / 2h (if there is snow) for the second, Midtoppen which offers perhaps better views.
Few snow (in August).

Belle sortie à ne réaliser que par beau temps.
A 2200m, un brouillard passager glace le sang !
Perfect description of the route, took me 2h up because of the rocks.The views are unbeatable.
The bus now is 90kr. one way and it must be taken in Hjerking, next to the wild reindeer exhibit.
