Important details
To fully enjoy your hiking adventure in the mountainous areas, it’s important to dress according to the weather conditions and local temperatures. The weather at high altitude in Norway can change quickly, and a snowstorm can happen every month of summer. For a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we recommend having with you warm, waterproof clothing, sturdy high mountain hiking boots that provide ankle support, sunscreen and sunglasses. It is not allowed to wear trail running shoes, everyday shoes, or sneakers on this kind of hike. We also recommend bringing hiking poles in this type of terrain.
Meal
You must bring all the food and drink you need for a long day out hiking.
If you stay at Filefjellstuene the night before, you can make yourself a packed lunch from the breakfast buffet.
Route
On this trip, your guide will show you the way and make sure of your safety. The trail is rocky, and sometimes you need to cross rivers and streams. Therefore, we recommend ankle-height mountain boots and hiking poles. You will cross a glacier and possibly also walk in the snow. Depending on the weather conditions, your guide might need to make some changes on the hike.
Difficulty
Hard
Kilometer: up to 20 kilometers
Ascent: up to 1500 ascent meter
Terrain: Varied trail, where longer sections are hilly and rocky, there will also be features and exposed terrain.
On these trips, we spend a lot of time in demanding terrain, and there are long ascents and descents. The tours are usually around 6-8 hours. These trips can also involve crossing glaciers and rappelling, this requires that the person participating in the trip has some previous experience and is in good physical shape.
Please ask us if you are not sure about your level.

You also need to remember to have some extra space in your daypack for the glacier equipment and have quite stiff ankle-high mountain boots that will fit crampons.
