This
time I get the company of Dante and Sören, travelling to Norway. we
park
the car at the lake Vavatn, on 1160m altitude, northwest of
Hemsedal. |
This is easy walking. After a while we can see the cairn of our first
summit. It's the lower western peak of Hydalshjallen. You can see it to
the right in this picture. The lovely view down into Hydalen is present
all the time. |

Reaching Hydalshjallen V 1383m, after about
one hour. Hydalsberget
1775m
is in the background. |
The lake Vavatn to the west. |

And
here's looking to the east. Our main target Hydalsbergi is the mountain
to
the right. |
But
first of all we descend a bit,
then climb the main summit of Hydalshjallen 1425m. There's quite a
small cairn at the summit. |

Looking
across the valley towards Hydalsberget, 1775m, from a viewpoint just
below the summit of Hydalshjallen. |
Our route continues towards Hydalsbergi with
a fairly steep descent to 1355m. From
there we walk the ridge on the left side of the lake, leading to the
high point. It's the flatter area far away to the left. |

We
do see some ptarmigans up here. But they don't want to be photographed,
so we never get close to them. This is the best i get, with a cropped
picture. |
After
a little more than two hours we reach our main target, Hydalsbergi
1594m. There were a lot of stones on the higher parts, but otherwise
ok. |

The views are excellent in all directions
from the summit. Here is looking to the southeast. |
