Itinerary description

The route starts by the hut used for skiing where you can also park your car.
I recommend going at least two persons tied together as you need to pass the Styggebreen glacier. At least consult the locals to hear about the glacier (if it has shifted or become unstable somewhere along the route).
Bring warm clothes as it can be quite cold at the summit. We did this trip in June 2011.
