The Mountain Way
0
The Mountain Way is about experiencing the fantastic North-Norwegian landscape far above sea-level. And if you are ready for the challenge – conquering majestic peaks that almost touch the sky. Explore unknown terrain, push your boundaries, and create memories that stay with you forever. Just a stone throw from the train station you will find your rental car which enable you to travel through all the stops and experiences along your route. Whoops! Or to put it more plainly, approximately 150 meters from the railway station lays the auto rental shop Nordvik AS where the car is ready for you. Look in the car and you will find the welcome folder which contains further information, a map of Okstindan and the map showing the way to your next stop: Bygdetunet at Bjerka. The open-air museum Bygdetunet is the first stop before you begin the hike up to one of the most awe-inspiring tourist lodges in Norway: Rabothytta. The hike can be accompanied with changing weather and the terrain can be demanding for some, so remember to pack proper equipment and tight-laced hiking boots! You oversee settling in yourself when you reach your destination. Look forward to spending the night in simple, but comfortable and breath-taking premises right by the mighty Okstind-glacier. After a good night's sleep and breakfast, you are free to explore the surrounding area like the nearby lake Okstindtjønna or the foot of the glacier where you can feel the cold blue ice against your fingertips. Experienced guides will take you on an exciting trip on the majestic glacier if you have pre-booked a glacier walk. The guides have the necessary safety equipment, you just bring guts and gusto. Rabothytta is a hike you are sure to never forget!
