    Once the highest mountain in Scandinavia, it now stands at 8,045 feet (2,452 m), which is the elevation without the remaining summit glacier.

    In good weather, the ascent can be described as a physically demanding but technically easy hike. Further up, you'll have to walk on rocks and large stones, and then another snowfield awaits at the summit. This is no problem, as long as you don't get too close to the overhanging snow cornices at the summit or, in poor visibility, before reaching it. The descent to Glitterheim can then be completed largely on a toboggan, some of it up to 5,249 feet (1,600 m). Great fun :)
