Store-SkagastølstindScandinavian Mountains over 2000 metres - James Baxter
Areas › Dovrefjell › Snøhetta › Alternative Routes
Snøhetta, one of the best known mountains in Norway, is simple to climb from Reinheim or Snøheim in the Spring or Summer. There are no facilities at Snøheim however, it is a closed cabin at the end of the road and there is a 6 km walk to Reinheim (further in spring with blocked roads).
From the top of Snøhetta there are 3 possible descents all of about the same distance and effort; 1 to Snøheim road head, 2 to Reinheim lodge, 3 to Åmotsdal cabin. It therefore makes sense to climb Snøhetta if going from one of these locations to another, especially Snøheim to Åmotsdal cabin, instead of the low level alternative.
