Day Trip Destinations in Winter

Bakkehellertunga

Day trip from Geiterygghytta with beautiful views and fantastic descent from Bakkahellertunga.

Follow the twig trail over Geiteryggvatnet, take off and start the ascent.  From the two large boulders at the top of Bakkehellertunga, 1504 m.a.s.l., the worn crown with a view of Hallingskarvet and Skarvheimen is located.

Feel free to ask us for more information.

Lordehytta

Did you know that I have our own Lordehytte in Bakkahelleren?

Lordehytta is located on a slope just up the twig trail towards Omsvatnet. The stone cabin is not easy to spot where it mostly blends in with nature. Hald is looking for a stone slab about 60 meters up in the ground. 

On the bench with your back leaning against the cabin, and the sun in your face, you find peace and can let your thoughts flow freely while you look out over Hallingskarvet.

Feel free to ask us for more information.

The yes bench

Close to the dormer trail towards Kyrkjedøri you will find the yes bench.

Fun in the shelter of Storfonnosi and an orchestra seat overlooking Hallingskarvet, you will get exactly the answer you want.

Nice round trip from Geiterygghytta where you feel the twig trail to Raggsteindalen and go over to the trail from Kyrkjedøri.
