Hydalsberget 1775m, 2/6 2012




 The weather may be a bit cold for the season, as we park
 the car at Vabuleino, on the north side of the lake Vavatn,
 at 1150m. The slopes up to Hydalsberget are seen to the
 right.
Just a bit further up we find this wall of snow, 6-8m high. The lake Vavatn, seen from1350m altitude, is still frozen. When I was here almost exactly one year ago there was no ice. The car can barely be seen a little to the right of the middle.



 At the first summit, Hydalsberget v 1740m, after a little
 more than 1,5h. A view to the south.
Dante is heading for the main summit. The summit cairn is visible up to the right. Almost at the main summit. A snow shower is passing. (Doesn't it look a bit cold and windy?) 



 At the main summit, 1775m. The weather is grim right
 now, with snow, hard winds and temperatures well below
 zero. Hard to imagine it's the 2/6. But, we are prepared,
 we have warm clothes.
It is beautiful up here. A view to the southwest, with Vavatn
in the middle.
To the north we can see Ranastongi, 1900m.



 Only a short bit from the main summit is the viewpoint
 Steinbunøse, 1760m. Here is a vertical picture to the
 bottom of the valley Hydalen, almost 900 altitude meters
 below. This could be the "high point" of the hike, if the
 expression is allowed...
Hydalen to the east, with the lake Sør Hydalsvatnet in the middle. More to the northwest, Ranastongnøse.


 Hydalen in the other direction, to the west. Vavatn can be
 seen behind the mountain
.
Going back towards the main summit.
