Green hike

Venåshøvda

Venåshøvda IH

A nice walk through the forest for the whole family with great views at the top.

Venåshøvda 773 - 988 m

There are two different ways to reach the top of Venåshøvda.

The most suitable for families with kids is if you park at the parking lot in Lio and start the hike on the gravel road and continue on a path through the forest. The view at the top is georgeous. This is an easy hike, 200 m vertical and about 2.5 km one way. The trip is estimated to 2 hours.

Option number two is a bit steeper and shorter. Park along the main road and follow "Kongevegen" the first bit, after that, the marked trail will take you to the top.

Difficulty:
Distance: 4.9km
Duration: 2h
Height in meters: 217m
