From Bjørberg, you get a steady climb first up to Ershovtjernene and a bit further up to the trail's highest point with beautiful views. From there, it goes downhill towards Bulien. Take a break in the beautiful mountain pasture area before either walking back or continuing down towards Feten deep in Grøndalen. 

See groomed trails at loyper.net.

Bringing your dog? Remember that your dog should not disturb others. During Christmas, winter, and Easter holidays there is a leash requirement in all machine-groomed trails in Hemsedal. At the ski arenas Totteskogen and Gravset, as well as in valley & forest trails from Gravset east to Feten and Lio in the west, there is a leash requirement throughout the season. Thank you for cleaning up after your dog.
