Full Description
A guidebook to 10 short treks of 3-8 days in southern Norway. Covering Jotunheimen, Rondane, Dovrefjell, Trollheimen and Ryfylke, the routes showcase the spectacular scenery of Norway's mountains and fjords.
The treks range from 41 to 152km (25-94 miles), although some can be linked to create longer expeditions. Most stages are graded challenging or very challenging and call for stamina, navigational skill, competence on rough terrain, scrambling ability and - in some instances - a head for heights.
