How to get there
From the Tourist Office drive 4.6 km to Tuv, take to the right into Grøndalen and then up the toll road Hydalsvegen (toll road, card payment). At the end of the lake, Vavatn, the road turns sharply to the right (at Vabuleino). Park here and follow the signpost to Ranastøngji.
Parking
Parking space at the end of the Vavatn lake, either just around the bend or down the hill to Vabuleino.
Safety
- Remember a topographic hiking map and compass.
- Always choose hikes based on your ability and current conditions. The weather changes quickly in the mountains. Turn back in time (or choose another hike).
- There is no water available after the trail flattens so it is a good idea to fill up when you cross the river.
Tip
Remember a proper map and compass. Read more about safety information, equipment and tips under Details.
Description
At the top, 1900 masl, you'll get the most fantastic view over the mountains of Hemsedal, Jotunheim and the Jostedal glacier. Right behind the top, there is a special “canyon” with a vertical drop of approx. 600 meters.
Keep your dog on a leash, also in the high mountains.
