Overview

Stretch your legs on a mountain hike to Nesahaugen, a viewpoint with stunning fjord and glacier landscapes. You'll start in the town of Mundal and conquer the first stretch, which is a bit steep. This moderate route weaves through a dense forest up to an old summer mountain farm at about 1,500 feet (475 m). Then, feel free to take a rest and enjoy the rustic buildings.

After the farm, the path turns to the right and starts to gain more elevation. At the top, you'll find the Nesahaugen Viewpoint. Take a rest here and enjoy your lunch while listening to stories about local history, culture, and folklore from your guide. Take in the views of the mountain peaks, distant glaciers, and meandering fjords. When you're ready, you'll head back to Mundal along the same path.

Our guide, (Sigrid?) was adorable and did a good job. We got some rain off/on and only a few minutes of seeing the view with the clouds moving in/out at the top, but it was still gorgeous. The down however was extremely treacherous, very steep and slippery, and wouldn't be recommended for most on a wet day. Read more

The trekking up it not for the unfit. Our guide was patient with us & walked slowly as it was through the forest. Although we could not see the glacier due to the weather, the view he showed us was still amazing. Read more
