Find a path down the steep and loose side onto the ridge to Rismålstindan. Follow the ridge down to Nøkksetra before curving around Hans Meyer-fjellet and down the ski hill.

Difficulty
Extreme
Scrambling up mountains and along technical trails with moderate fall exposure. Handholds are necessary to navigate the trail in its entirety, although they are not necessary at all times. Some obstacles can be very large and difficult to navigate, and the grades can often be near-vertical. The challenge of the trail and the steepness of the grade results in very strenuous hiking. Hikes of this difficulty blur the lines between "hiking" and "climbing".
High Exposure
Some trail sections have exposed ledges or steep ascents/descents where falling could cause serious injury.
Remoteness
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
