Description

Vardehornet and its little brother Nivane often has good snow early in the winter and offers various descents. Park your car at the parking lot next to Vikelva and a power generator.

Follow the road that goes north, straight up the hill.

When you pass the tree line, leave the road and follow the ridge in N-W direction to the topp of Nivane at 936 m.a.s.l.

You can either turn around here or follow the ridge on its right hand side to N-E, leading the way to the summit of Vardehornet.

There are two main options for descent: 1.
