Having spent the previous day on the popular Romsdalseggen and Blånebba, our minds were still occupied with the spectacle of the Trollveggen. We wanted to get a closer look, to really grasp its scale, and with the Trollstigen closed, we had the idea to hike to the Nordre Trolltinden summit.
Given the imposing stature of the Trollveggen, we had some nerves regarding what we might encounter on the way to Nordre Trolltinden. We had consulted Pontus, the owner of our AirBnB, about our prospective route, and he had assured us that the scrambling was more challenging than Romsdalseggen (we did not find this challenging), but the route was clear, manageable and not too exposed.
Blessed with sun, low winds and comfortable temperatures, we began with the steep climb up Norafjellet from Sogge. Winding >>>
Laushornet

We were travelling from Vågåmo to Åndalsnes and although the Trollstigen was closed, we opted to drive via Geiranger as neither of us had ever seen the famous fjord. Aware of the status Geirangerfjord has amongst tourists, attracting cruiseshipfulls, we searched for a route that'd give us peace and pristine views down the fjord: Laushornet ticked all the boxes.
The weather was mixed: sunny intervals between heavy showers; clag intermittently shrouding the summits. Hoping we'd get views on the summit, we left the small car park at Vesterås and followed the tourist trod towards Storsæterfossen. The path was exceptionally busy, so we opted to explore the waterfall on our return journey. The view towards Vinåshornet (a climb for next time!) and neighbour Grinddalsnibba is satisfying.
