ISFJORDEN

Hurrungen (1276 m.a.s.l.)

A ski tour with spectacular view, on the way to the top and on top! Choose from a variety of descending routes that will give you a thrilling downhill ride!

A great summit providing hours of skiing in beautiful surroundings, accompanied by some of Romsdalen's wildest peaks as a backdrop. Fantastic photo possibilities when the weather and snow conditions are good. Best time to access the mountain is from around Easter, when the mountain road to Vengedalen has been cleared of snow, and then makes it possible to park the car at the parking spot 385 masl.

Warnings - Cornice hazards!

Always keep a good distance from the edges and mountain crest. On the way to the top and on top of the mountains there are visible and non-visible snow cornices with unpredictable sizes! For your own safety: Keep a good safety margin, and do not move near the edges! Always stay alert, stay up to date on the avalanche forecast and always keep a third eye open on wind and rapid temperature changes. Keep to the left and follow the West ridge to the top.
