Snow on the last day of June on Snøhetta

Bus to Snøheim, waymarked path across tundra then boulderfield on ridge to summit. Low cloud and sleet and snow. Return similar route. The bus took us 15 kilometres up a dirt track to Snøheim. On the way we saw a merlin mobbing a golden eagle and then the musk ox herd in the distance. There was snow bunting and ringed plover at Snøheim. The surroundings were cold and bleak. The bus display showed 4° outside before we got off. We set off on the trail at 9:00am. It was marked with metal poles and red Ts round the lake and then gently across the tundra. We reached the ruin of Gamle Reinheim in one hour. The rest of the route was up a boulder field marked with metal poles. There were almost no plants, the only bird a common gull. Cloud on the peak ahead cleared briefly before we reached it. >>>
