Itinerary description

If the weather is nice, this is a rather easy track to follow. Average distances between the fantastic DNT huts on the track is around 10-13km.

Some important remarks if you plan ondoing this track:
* The first part from the town of Sulitjelsma to the first hut is not on the track, but it's quite steep. It starts behind the church, easy to find, just follow the road.
* On the terrain, don't try to really follow the summer trails, the navigation markers are not visible
* Before crossong ANY LAKE, check if it's safe, either with some local you encounter, or phone the park ranger (a really nice guy)
* In the last part, from Trygvebu to the final point I took a really off-road track. This follows a very steep valley, where the little river is most likely not (or not enough) completely frozen over. Be carefull and if in doubt, turn back and follow the normal path.

Happy snowshoeing, and don't let the locals tell you that you need to ski, snowshoeing is much more fun :D

I did this track end of Februari, beginning of March. At that time the avalanche risk is still very low (1-2) and there is already enough sunight towalk safely.

    This is a very interesting route that you show here. Do you have the phone number of the local ranger so I can contact him to ask about the situation of the ice on Balvatnet and the avalanche situation in the Trygvebu region?

You can or this trail
