The "backside" of Trolltindene

The "backside" of Trolltindene. If your acrophobia isn't too severe, this is a great place to visit. Start from the top of Trollstigen (alt. 700 m) and walk for 6 km to the ridge (alt. 1450 m, 1 km off the right edge of this image). Ascend the scree diagonally towards the low end of the largest snow patch. Be careful crossing the sometimes hundreds of meters long snow "slide" – during the summer the snow surface hardens slowly. Follow the path close to the top of the ridge to Bruraskaret (alt. 1600 m). If your body and mind still feel good, you may go on to Store Trolltind, altitude 1788 meters, here partly hidden in the clouds.
