You must be in good physical shape before embarking on this mountain tour, which has an ascent of 800 metres. Certain stretches require you to hoist yourself up and down using a steel wire, so this hike is challenging even for experienced hikers. You start at the car park in Øygardstøl.

In rainy weather, you must pay particular attention to the fact that the path can be slippery.
