After a second night at Vigdalstøl, we left the cabin and returned to the parking lot at Vårstølen along the marked trail. Here we left most of our stuff in the car before following a marked trail to Fivla.

After failing to locate any trails, except from animal tracks, heading from Fivla towards Fivlenosi, me and my niece continued on our own in a more or less a straight line for the summit, only making slight detours to avoid the steepest areas.

In the end the summit was reached without any difficulties, and we could enjoy the excellent views in all directions, perhaps especially east towards Hurrungane. In the far distance we could also spot Hafslovatnet and Sogndalsfjorden.

After a short lunch break we returned along the same route to the parking lot, where the rest of the family members were already ready to start the drive back to Sogndal.

To conclude, an excellent hike that can be very highly recommended!
