On the way back from a conference in Sundvollen, I stopped at Finse with the plan to go hiking both Friday afternoon and Saturday morning before completing the train ride back to Bergen. Less than 15 minutes after checking in at Finse 1222 I had therefore changed into hiking gear and was on my way to Store Finsenuten. The sun was shining, but a strong cold wind from the southeast made it anything but warm.

After crossing the tunnel covering the railroad tracks, I continued north along a weak trail before heading off-trail up Finseskaret. South of the summit I came across a trail marked with small cairns that I could follow all the way to the large cairn at the highest point of Store Finsenuten. Great views from the summit, but with the strong wind almost making it difficult to stand upright, and the sun now having disappeared behind the clouds, I quickly started my descent along the same route.

Back at Finseskaret I decided to make the short climb to Vetle Finsenuten, which provided very nice views across Finsevatnet. The strong winds however again made me quickly return to Finseskaret and back down to Rallarvegen. As I was getting closer to the hotel there was a brief hail shower that briefly turned into snow before the sun shortly reappeared. With lots of time left before the booked dinner at the hotel, I therefore made a short detour to Finsehytta before concluding the hike.

Overall, a nice short hike with excellent views that can be highly recommended. Back at the hotel I sadly had to conclude that the weather forecast for the next day was not looking good. Even stronger winds combined with rain/snow and risk of fog at higher altitudes made it clear that tomorrow's hiking plans had to be cancelled, by thankfully I quickly managed to change my ticket to an earlier train the next morning.
