Images
This is a hike for intermediate hikers who enjoy walking straight up to the top and have some experience. The hike starts through an old mountain farm area and you walk in beautiful high mountain terrain all the way. Raudberg divides the valleys Grøndalen and Mørkedalen and from the top you can see almost the whole of Hemsedal and parts of the mountain range Jotunheimen.
Remember to keep the dog on a leash, even in the high mountains.
Turn-by-turn directions
From the Ershovd parking along the main road Rv52, you follow the gravel road further in. At the T-junction turn right. A few hundred meters further on, turn left at the sign for Raudberg and follow the marked trail upwards. After a lenghty climb, it flattens out a little more into the mountain. The trail runs on the left side of Raudberg. Gradually the path turns up the mountain and it becomes more rocky the last part towards the top. Return the same way.
Remember to keep the dog on a leash, even in the high mountains.
Safety information
- A topographic hiking map and compass are recommended.
