Norefjell (Høgevarde), 1459 m 2/11 2017






 Early November and finally a few days free from work. The  soul needs life energy now. I want to breath mountain air!  Dante and me take a one day trip to Norefjell, Norway.
 Here is the large mountain area seen from   Sigdal, on
 the way up. 
There is a payroad from Eggedal up to Tempelseter,
where you can park the car at 900m+ (60Nkr 2017)
.
Soon after start you see Ranten (1419m) ahead.


 About half an hour later and higher up. The south side of  Ranten is quite steep. Dante on his way up. The Gausta peak (1883m) partly
in clouds, at the horizon in the middle of the picture
.
In the beginning the climb is very flat. A little more than one hour after start we reach a T-crossing on 1200m+, where
you go right for
Høgevarde. It's easy to follow the trail. 



 The final climb for the summit. Dante has reached a ridge to the west of the summit. Hemsedalsfjellen, the mountains around Hemsedal, at the horizon about 100km to the north.



 The Gausta peak, about 70km to the south west. Dante reaching the summit. We needed a little more than
2h to get here. In the background to the right are the
mountains of Jotunheimen, about 150km to the north.
And here's me at the summit cairn. The boot on the stick
 is an interresting artistic statement. Bold, inventive....



 Hallingskarvet, reaching over 1900m, on the horizon. It's
 about 100km to the north west. 
 On the way down again, before sunset.
