Romsdalseggen, Andalsnes

A really beautiful but challenging route over the mountain ridge. We drove by car to the town of sndalsnes and were able to park for free near the train station. At the train station is the Norsk Center; here we bought our bus tickets. The bus departs daily at 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. The journey to the starting point takes about 20 minutes. We did the tour by bus at 8:30 a.m. Here the bus was already full of about 40/50 people. At the beginning of the hike, it goes quite steeply up on narrow, partly unpaved paths, so that overtaking the "slow" hikers is difficult. However, early on the chaff separates from the wheat, so that one can detach from the larger group. Even before you reach the summit, there are passages where you have to "climb" easily, but not very difficult. Arriving at the summit, a unique view of the valley awaits in good weather. On the day of our hike we are hiking through the cloud cover, so that we could enjoy bright sunshine at the summit and look at the cloud cover - unique! Now one goes over the mountain ridge, which becomes a little narrower in some places, so that no dizziness should be required. Now there are also 3-4 climbing passages, some of which are equipped with fixed poles and ropes, so that they are easy to master. The descent takes a long time and leads up steep stairs back to the valleys - that goes down to the knees. During the descent, you will pass the "Rampestreken" observation deck, so that you can take a wonderful view of the "ndalsnes". My conclusion: Challenging hike with great passages and great views. You should use suitable footwear and be dizzy. About two kilometres away you have the last chance to draw drinking water from a natural source. So pack enough water with you :-)
