Description
A family-friendly red hike that takes you up on the mountain of Røggjin. From the peak of the mountain, you'll be able to see the entire ski resort and the surrounding mountain area. Towards the southeast, you will see the big dam of Flævatn and the mountains of Reineskarvet.
Follow the blue marks all the way up. You start off walking in the woods on a steep trail that later leads you past the treeline onto a rock path. This rock path will take you to the top. There are parts of the hike with rope fences on boulders so be careful not to hike in the rain as it can be very slippery.
This is the perfect hike to take plenty of energy breaks on your way up. Keep your eyes up to the sky and see if you can get a glimpse of grouses flying off. You can also spot eagles and falcons.
During the wintertime, this is a perfect hike for snowshoeing from the Roni ski lift in Hemsedal Ski resort.
