It´s also one of the summits in the area that have the best fjord panorama for sure.  We start our day in the small village Urke in the shoreline of Norangsfjorden, from where we are able to work our way up to the summit and get better, and better views during the day.

During the whole trip the guide will tell stories about the hard life on a mountain farm and about all the children who grew up here, only with the fjord as the nearest neighbor. If we are lucky, we will meet both sheeps and lambs as there is still some farming activity at one of the Ansok farms. The aim of this trip is to find peace, breathe fresh air, eat local food and enjoy the wonderful view. Easy hiking Remember good hiking shoes and clothes after the weather. The trip lasts for about 2.5 hours
