The
road towards Rundemellen begins about 10km north of Fagernes (payroad
50
Nkr). Here's the mountain just short of the parking place,
with Kalvemellen to
the left
|
We
park the car at 970m, close to Turrsjøen south of the
mountain.
Only 380 altitude meters makes this peak very accessible. |

Peter
and Dante going up. The forest ends at 1100m. |
A view
to the south from 1100m. |

The lake Rabbalsvatnet to the northeast. |
The
climb to the summit is on the northern side of the mountain, technically
easy. A large cairn on the summit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
To the south, a few smaller cairns in front
of the steeper cliffs. |
To the north, some of the higher peaks
of Jotunheimen can be seen between
the clouds. |
|
|
|

|
|
Now we
are descending again.
After reaching the mountain from the eastern
side we go back to
the west, making a full lap around Rundemellen. |
Eventually,
Kalvemellen turns up ahead. Being there, close to us, makes it easy to
climb. With only 80 altitude meters extra, it's an easy task. |

The
summit cairn on Kalvemellen. From the ridge we can follow a trail,
leading us
all the way down to the car again.
|
The Hemsedal mountains to
the west. |

Looking
south, Turrsjøen and the parking place ahead of it. |
