© Harald Barsnes Eight degrees, sunny, almost no clouds, and close to no wind. Only the snow conditions could have been better, as for many sections of the trail we could see the ground through the snow, while for other parts the snow melting during the previous day had turned into ice overnight. Yet at other places we had to leave the trail completely for smaller detours to avoid larger wet areas. Luckily this greatly improved as the trip progressed. The first summit visited was Birgithovda , an easy to reach summit that is very close to the main winter trail. I had to remove my skis to reach the summit though, as all the snow had melted towards the summit. Even though this summit is relatively low compared to its surroundings, it still provided nice views as can be seen from the pictures. The trip quickly continued to >>>
