Røggjin 1050 - 1370 m
A nice walk with a great view at the top in all directions. Follow clearly marked path from the parking area up towards the bare mountain. Slightly above a small hut the trail splits and a steeper route is straightforward and the easier route to the right. This is recomended and this path is better marked.

Safety
- A topographic hiking map may be handy.
- Always choose hikes based on your ability and current conditions. The weather changes quickly in the mountains.
- As much of the hike is on rocky surface, it gets very slippery when wet.
- Stay on the trail as it is steep around you.
Tip
During the wintertime, this is a perfect hike for snowshoeing from the Roni ski lift in Hemsedal Ski Resort.
