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.

A view towards Ranastongi, between
Steinbunøse and the main summit.
