Re: where should i go?

Hi, If you do the"Trollheimen Triangle", the most challenging passage is over the mountain between Trollheimshytta and Gjevilvasshytta (north-east of Blåhøa, near 1400m). There is only one viable passage near the highest point; this one is permanently marked with big iron stakes. Here is a map with ...

Re: where should i go?

By the way I lived in Switzerland before. The Alps are great tour destinations but to me it is more for Alpine Touring with plastic boots, full length skins, dynafit style bindings and avalanche beepers. The Jura mountains offer similar BC tours to Norway, but are quite a bit warmer so snow conditio...

Re: Paddling Biking Fishing Gardening

I have had some success catching pollock and cod on the fishing rod a few weeks ago. In a few hours in the Trondheimsfjord, north of Frosta, I caught fish which gave about 10 kg of fillet, enough for a month's eating... but I also like to eat other things than fish, so the freezer is a bit full, tog...

Re: The Åsnes Thread (News for 2018-2019!)

I broke my 2.5 year old Fischer E109 Crown Extralite this Easter and decided to get Åsnes Nansen as a replacement. I was really happy with the Fischers. Fischer offered a warranty replacem...
