Powder Hiking

We were already cuddled in our sleeping bags when we realized the sky had cleared and we could see stars through our window. Straight away, we got up and went outside to check if we could see Northern Lights again. And indeed, we were lucky again! Not that strong green as last time, but kind of spread out instead.
In the morning, we jumped out of bed quickly as well. It was sunny when we woke up and by now we've learned that the weather changes ridiculously quick here. So Herbert went outside and took a couple of sunlight pictures.
And we were right, after breakfast, it was cloudy again and we left the hut while it was snowing. However, the hike was pretty cool. Winter wonderland next to the fjord, basically no wind compared to the past days and soft powder to walk on.
We decided to climb up a mountain range to get some views. Unfortunately, the top was in clouds, so there were no views. At some point, we experienced a complete white-out for quite some time. All around us, it was just white. It's a bit scary as you have no idea where you are or where you are going, you lose your sense of direction and idea of distance and you can only feel from your exhaustment if you go up or down or on a flat terrain. We checked out the GPS on the phone like every 50 meters or so to check if we are still on the right route.
I the end, we made it to the signed path as planned and headed to the hut we slept in the first night. It was covered in snow, so we had to shuffle a bit to get inside. Inside, once the oven was heated, it was nice and cosy as we remembered.Läs mer
