バレストランドの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ5

Please only do this if you are a really experienced hiker. There isn't a single section of normal path on the route. You'll either end up with your feet hanging off some stream, or can't see the path for all the snow, or you're literally scrambling over hill and dale. We set off as a family in normal shape at 9 a.m. and were at the top after 7.5 hours. If there hadn't been an emergency hut up there, we would have frozen to death. Maybe we were being particularly naive, but we go hiking every holiday and always on "difficult" routes. But here there was hardly a single normal section to walk. I'm only mentioning this so explicitly because we would have been happy if someone had warned us. Incidentally, using the stopwatch, it took us 12.5 hours to do the entire route. Yes, that included a break for a snack and to enjoy the really great view. So a great tour for real mountain goats and not for part-time hikers like us.

So beautiful!

Great huts 🛖 for those looking for shelter in bad weather. There are 3 categories.

A few simple huts right in the nature.

You can drive up a good distance (the road is easy to drive on). Then you come directly to the start of the exciting hiking trail. It is still 2.4 km to the historic Hochalm. Simply beautiful, it's worth it!

A small shelter to shelter or spend the night. There is also a fire pit with seating in front of the hut.

Great hut with toilet and even heated by black shingles on both sides. Storm protection is also required here. Even the bank is weighed down with heavy stones. Difficult tour, but beautiful. Again and again.

That was a wonderful hiking experience. A derelict alpine pasture, where you can still see the old alpine huts. Beautiful views of the Sonjefjord.
