Synshorn is a perfect choice for those who want a shorter hike, but still want spectacular views. From the starting point, it only takes 45 minutes to reach the top in easy and nice terrain. Here you get great views west towards Bygdin and south towards Bitihorn.

Urekkollen is a lesser-known peak at Haugseter Fjellstue , but offers fantastic views of Vinstervatnet and the mountains to both the east and west. The hike up is relatively short, taking under an hour, making it perfect as a quiet evening hike or an alternative when you want to avoid the more crowded peaks.

Here you get a feeling of peace and quiet – and often you have the mountain almost entirely to yourself.

A day in the mountains gives you fresh air, energy and nature experiences at their best. But the experience is even better when you can end your trip with a little luxury. At Ridderbadet at Riddergaarden you can sink into the outdoor jacuzzi, take a sauna or enjoy a good meal at Casa Montagna – perfect after a day in the mountains.
