Slogen is arguably the finest summit in the Sunnmore Alps and the view is impressive! From the fjord a triangular pyramid-like feature rises straight up. Patchellhytta cabin lies at the foot of Slogen and is popular day tour objective in itself, but it is also a good starting point for ascents of Slogen, as well as Brekketind (5,833 ft) and Smorskredstind (5,351 ft). There are several alternative routes to Patchellhytta, and onwards to Slogen, either from oye, Engeset or Urke. Season Jun - Sept Duration From oye: 4-5 hours, Urke: 5 hours and Patchellhytta: 2-3 hours. Distance and total height gain: From oye: 3 km. 4,921 ft. From Patchellhytta: 3 km. 2,460 ft. From Urke: 3,937 ft. 8 km. Access Bus/car to oye or Stranda/Engeset. Hjorundfjord Cruise , see p. 31. Worth noting: You are strongly advised not to use the snow fields on the way down unless you have an ice axe and know how to brake with it. This practice leads to several serious accidents every year.

6. The Romsdalen Valley
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 48 reviews
The Romsdalen valley is long and narrow with majestic towering mountains on either side. Along the valley floor in a wild and beautiful setting runs the foaming salmon river, Rauma. At Verma the Rauma runs through a 30-40 metre deep gorge, forming Slettafossen waterfall. The waterfall is secured by fences on either side and can be crossed by a bridge. At 1,000 metres, Trollveggen is Europe's tallest vertical, overhanging rock face. Scandinavian rock climbing started in the Romsdal Alps, which boast some of the world's most difficult climbs. On the opposite side of the valley, the Romsdalshorn peak towers to a height of 1,555 metres. On the E 136 road, directly below Trollveggen there is a picnic area with a tourist information office, WC, kiosk, children's play area and a marvellous view of the mountains.

A worthwhile stop! Our tour bus stopped here for a restroom break on the way to Trollstigen. In addition to the restroom buildings, there is a modern looking cafe with glass walls with great views of the ravine. Since Valldal is known for its berries I spotted small jars (TSA sized!) of jams for sale in the cafe including the famous cloudberry jam which was a great find! Unfortunately, I did not have time to try the delicious looking cinnamon buns. We walked the winding pathway through the ravine to view the rushing river below that formed very interesting rock formations. Each turn of the path offers different water views-some very deep areas, as well as shallower ones. Good photo area. At the end of the pathway, before boarding the bus, a vendor had containers of fresh local berries for sale. Tip: carry some local currency with you.

Absolutely stunning view, is perfect for taking photos of the city’s gorgeous buildings and surrounding islands. And quite an easy hike with 418 white stairs to the top.

This is a very clean establishment. It includes a cafeteria with very good food and friendly service. There is a souvenir shop, viewing area and clean toilets. Well worth a visit.
