Finse at Easter 2005

Just back from Norway, had 4 days Nordic skiing, and some very fine weather!



We rose out of the trollsk weather into the  best sunshine of the trip!

Klemsbu mountain hut just North of Finse

My first ski mountaineering peak. Sankt Pal 1694m.

We were based at Finsehytta, a very nice hostel at Finse.

Finse its self is West of Oslo approximately half way between Oslo and Bergen.
In the distance is the Hardangerjokulen glassier

The only way in to Finse is by train or to ski! The station is 1222m above sea level

The area around Finse is a mountain plateau similar in character to that of the Cairngorms.

Four days of glorious weather and not a breath of wind. Another short but excellent tour.
