ヨートゥンヘイム山脈の峠・トップ20

Great hike with fabulous views of the glacier

The Trollstigen is one of the most impressive mountain roads in Europe. It climbs a good 400 meters in 11 hairpin bends and connects Romsdalen with Geiranger. The viewing platforms offer a fantastic view of the pass. But the most impressive part, for me, is the crossing of the 320-meter-high waterfall, Stigfossen.

A breathtaking scenery with snow in midsummer. The highest point is the Fantesteinen. In midsummer (late June), you can even still see cross-country skiers – so it's still very cool to cold.

A relatively long trail over a pass covered with large scree and boulders. It's simply spectacular in good weather. In rain, you have to be careful on the rocks to avoid slipping.

Here, at around 1400 m altitude, is the highest road point in Scandinavia, just above the large mountain hut Sognefjellhytta

If you do not want to spend the night in the Dørålseter when coming from the south, you can still climb through this gap and then, before descending into Havredalen, set up a tent on a plateau with a distant view, quite high up in front of a deep stream gorge.

Highest pass road in Northern Europe with a wonderful view of glaciers and glacial lakes
