Itinerary description
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINS USED TO WALK, WHO UNWIND THEMSELVES ON EVERY LAND, NOT FOR OCCASIONAL HIKERS. IF YOU HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, ADD ONE MORE DEGREE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MY ROUTES SO YOU WILL NOT GET SURPRISES.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS AN ALPINISM OR MOUNTAINING ROUTE, NOT HIKING!
Ascent to Galdhøpiggen Peak, the highest point in Norway and the entire Scandinavian Peninsula, starting from the Spiterstulen Refuge, where we would end up spending the night at the end of the excursion.
It does not have any technical difficulty but it does require a certain physical form due to the unevenness to be saved. During the ascent to the granite giant we will observe glaciers almost in all directions but we will not really have to step on any of them, we will only cross some snowfields of a certain dimension near the top (with the season well advanced as was our case). The terrain has its beauty, although the intermediate area is a bit boring as it is a vast granite hill shattered by winter meteors. The upper part offers interesting views as the top is surrounded by glaciers.
In this area the climate can be a problem. We were lucky and went up on a relatively good day.
I have created the route manually since the excursion was carried out on August 10, 2010
