Easy trips (2-3 hours): These are easy hikes well suited for families, beginners, and smaller groups. They are mainly on gravel roads and/or small paths to lakes without any particular height increase or shorter trips with a slight height increase to available vantage points with a great view. Fitjadalsvatnet, Krokavatn, Skårsete, and Vikedalsnebbet can be mentioned as some of the guide’s personal favorites.

Medium trips (3-5 hours): These hiking trips give a superior view over the beautiful fjord landscape and valleys! The trips suit people in average physical shape and small groups. The hike starts at around 250-400 meters above sea level before walking up a path that leads to a magnificent view from various mountaintops, 900-1100 meters above sea level. These hiking trips often go to the local favorites such as mount Torefjell, Tørviknuten, and Klyvenuten.

More challenging trips (5-10 hours): These hikes are challenging and longer than the rest. The hikes are approximately 15-25 km long and move along mountaintops at around 800-1400 meters above sea level. They either have a panorama view over the fjord/mountains or an extraordinary view over the fjord branches and valleys. The trips are well suited for people in good physical shape and smaller groups. These trips are also customized to each group, but often will one of the favorites such as Vikanuten, Kiellandbu, Fuglafjell, or Manfjell end up on the hiking plans.
