Did it today! Amazing run/climb! Not for inexperienced runners…
Hey Huldy or Javi, I’m staying at the Vik camp site tonight, if you see this message: does the route follows marked paths or is it “cross country”? Thanks in advance!
The downhill is off track and very steep! If you’re experienced it’s not a problem…
Thanks Huldi! Very useful. I followed this trail and made an extension: https://www.wikiloc.com/trail-running-trails/vik-hatta-summits-1st-and-2nd-82830324
And I confirm what you say regarding the skills required to run the off-track downhill sections with no obvious path and no signs / sticks there to help. Some of them were knocked down, I nailed them back to the ground because they help a lot to know where to go. Anyway, carrying the Wikiloc app or a GPS is highly recommended, especially if fog appears!
It is a spectacular route, beautiful landscapes and very aerial and impressive peaks with incredible views.
Thanks!
