Day 26: back into the clouds

I'm back at over 2000 meters altitude. yes, that means I'm back in the snow also ;-) I had a bit of a deja vu, when after a lovely few hours through the green valley full of creeks and waterfalls, I found myself going very steep up the mountains, mostly on snow, into the clouds, with no visibility. But there was no wind and I was quite comfortable. I made it to Fannaråk hut around 3pm, and by 5 it cleared up and I got to see the amazing view of pictures 4-6.

This hut (3 small buildings) is quite unique for unlike most other huts, it's on top of the mountain right by a large glacier and there is no way up here but by a 5 to 6 hour hike. So once a year, a helicopter delivers all the supplies for the season and the people who work here stay a few weeks at a time. It's also less luxurious than most huts, without showers or electricity. But all I need is an oven to warm up and dry my socks!! One might say that one visitor's simple living is another hiker's luxury ;-)Read more
