Ski Touring Difficult
I call Breikågen the "smallest big mountain in Norway".; it's only 683 m high, but each meter can pure skiing pleasure. The normal route (ascent route here) is a popular relatively easy tour, but it can be scoured in the upper parts, so people often choose to turn around at 550-650m. The large east-facing couloir is an attractive alternative for experienced skiers with solid snow-assessment skills. The couloir offers outstanding 35-40 degrees skiing from just below the summit, and then leads to wider slopes leading right to the sea. These slopes are east-facing, and hold the snow longer than any other area in the region - word! The main hazard to manage is wind-slab in the start of the couloir, but the steepness by itself requires well-developed avalanche/snow assessment skills. If it goes, it is among the best runs in the area. Too short for your liking? Consider laps, as many slopes on this peak offer great skiing.
