Storhaugen Map

From Åmellom parking lot, cross the road and head north west. You will cross two power lines on the flats before the climb starts.

Description

Follow the ridge westwards on the north side of the river. Keep to the south of Sætermorka. Traverse westwards below a huge bowl, which often has snowdrift in the top.

At 1100 m.a.s.l. start the final climb on a ridge going north west. Follow this until the slope flattens out and you will soon arrive at the summit.

Descend the same route as the ascend. Alternatively you can ski down the bowl, depending on snow conditions.
