Route 2

Austre Roholtsfjell

The hike to Roholtfjell is a great summit hike that starts in easy terrain, but gradually turns into a more demanding and steep section towards the end. Ropes are laid out in a couple of places to get to the top. The hike to the top is not recommended when it is wet, so turn around and add a detour to avoid the slippery parts of the mountain.

Great hike in beautiful Vrådal, this is the most alpine with clean-cut rock faces and an altitude of 1005 meters above sea level. Enjoy a fantastic hike in beautiful terrain.

The hike starts at Heia, feel free to park at the parking lot of the shooting range, and this beautiful hike starts in nice terrain on a path/old cart road and is a soft start before the summit hike. The terrain changes and you continue on rocks/mountains for the rest of the hike. The last part of the hike is steep and at the end you have to resort to using ropes. At the top you will be rewarded with a fantastic view. Remember good footwear, drinks and snacks.
