Hiking

Finsevatnet is a high-altitude lake located right next to the tiny village of Finse, at 1,214 meters above sea level in the heart of southern Norway. The Bergen Line railway skirts its edge, offering passengers stunning views of this glacial-fed lake framed by snow-dusted peaks and sweeping mountain plateaus.

Hiking

Don't hike in mid-June! There's massive amounts of snow, so you can't see the trail most of the way, and you have to check the Komoot app to make sure you're not walking over a frozen lake covered in snow. It was snowing everywhere, so we more than doubled our time! Additionally, there were some very dangerous sections where we were forced to hike over steep, avalanche-prone sections over several meters of snow.
