Cabin to cabin via Snøhetta from Kongsvoll

Length: 42.6 km
Duration: 2 days. 
Grading: Demanding
Start: Kongsvoll
Finishing: Snøheim/Kongsvoll

Snøhetta was long believed to be Norway's highest peak, and plays a significant role in the national romanticism's ideology of mountain Norway. When you come for the first time towards the giant that lies so alone, especially if you come from Snøheim, you understand why Snøhetta has been given such a special place in the image of mountain Norway. Take a trip to Snøhetta and Dovrefjell, and see for yourself!
