How to get there

From the town centre: Follow Rv 52 east towards Gol, after approx. 9 km, turn right to Torsetstølane. Turn left at the next intersection and follow the toll road (card payment) which turns up to the right to Torsetstølane. Just above the forest border, turn right and continue until the road stops at the Hornslie parking.

Parking

Parking at Hornslie. 

Safety

  • A topographic hiking map and compass are recommended.
  • Always choose hikes based on your ability and current conditions. The weather changes quickly in the mountains.

Tip

This hike can be combined with a hike around the Hydnetjernet lake and across the outlet of the waterfall Hydnefossen or to the Top 20 peak Veslehødn.

Description

Great hike in beautiful landscape. Here you get a nice view of Hemsedal and the mountains. You get an steep start uphill until you reach the height of Hydnetjernet, then it's a relaxing walk to the foot of Storehødn. Up Storehødn there is a rather steep climb to the top at 1,482 m above sea level.

 

Remember that we in Hemsedal have a leash requirement for dogs in the period 1 April to 31 October, also in the high mountains.
