Geitberget Summit Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great 360° all-round view conveys an unbelievable width. Hardly any trees or bushes and the snowy mountains in the national park! Great!!!

Tverfjellet Summit

Highlight • Summit

Instead of a pile of stones at the summit, you'll find more of a hollow here. People might even camp here.

Today we went to Tverfjellet, which is part of the Dovrefjell National Park and is home to the only healthy musk ox population in all of Europe. Up to 300 animals are said to live here. We didn't see any with our own eyes, but a staff member at the Snøhytta lodge gave us the opportunity to observe the animals …

A very nice evening hike through the mountains to the top of Tverrfjell. Then we went on to the Snøhetta Viewpoint, where there is an absolutely brilliant hut with a panoramic window. This is a really successful creation!👍
