From Lægreid to Tuva it's 12 km.

Tuva is the half.-way mark to Kikut and from Tuva you follow signes towards Kikut and Grønnebakken. If you would like to check of a summit on the way, Ustetind is early approached with groomed tracks to the top. 2 km from Tuva, you will see signes towards Ustetind.
At Grønnebakken you have approximately 7km remaining towards Kikut, and it's clearly signed towards Kikut.
If you havn't hade the chance to enjoy a warm coffee and waffle at either Tuva or Grønnebakken, Hakkesetstølen is your last option before Kikut.
A true classic that has It all, when it comes to cross country skiing.
