Hiking
It is pathless over huge stone blocks to the summit, and in the last few meters you have to scramble. Still in order for inexperienced mountain hikers on the ascent, the descent is all the more demanding. Sometimes it is so steep that you have to climb backwards.

Hiking
Outstanding views of the surrounding mountains and valleys from the summit. The ascent and descent are mostly over scree. Only the last 20 to 30 meters are technically demanding.

Running
An icon of Jotunheimen, Kyrkja is more accessible than its appearance suggests. It's name means 'the Church' and its summit can be attained via a modest scramble.
