Some may prefer the black Kyrkjebønnøse, where 999 meters of altitude must be climbed to reach the summit after 9 kilometers. Others will find more enjoyment in the green Karisetberget trail, which is 3 kilometers long and 190 meters to climb.

Note that many people also choose to use their bike in the mountains, and it's important to be well-informed to avoid ending up in the wrong place. We recommend that you look at trail maps to avoid places with many cyclists.

Summit tours with great views

A goal for most people who choose to go hiking or mountain running is to take a perfect nature photo to immortalize the moment. That's why we remind you to be careful and not expose yourself or others to danger when hiking in the mountains. Remember to familiarize yourself with the mountain safety rules when you go hiking.

Summit tours in Norway are popular in the summer, but also in Sweden. High mountains and majestic scenery help to create lasting memories. You can have this experience at all our destinations, whether it's Åresknutan 360 or up the mountain circuit in Trysil.

The family-friendly summit tour with lift is a favorite among families with children and makes it very easy to take small children to the mountains.

Our top five tips for mountain hiking

  1. Plan your hike: Find out as much as you can about the trail you want to hike - how long it is, what the terrain looks like, whether it passes places to eat or shop on the way. The more you know about the trail, the better you can prepare and pack for your hike.
  2. Have the right equipment: The equipment you need depends on the type of hike you're planning to do, but you can never go wrong with a pair of proper hiking boots, windproof and waterproof clothing, as well as a backpack with water and something edible.
  3. Dress for unexpected weather: The weather can change quickly when hiking in the mountains, so always pack windproof and waterproof clothing, even if the sun is shining when you're about to set off.
  4. Adjust your speed: Take it easy and adapt your speed to the terrain and your physical ability. Take regular breaks to rest and don't forget to enjoy the views along the hiking trail.
  5. Respect the nature: Show consideration for the environment and wildlife by leaving minimal trails behind you.
