When I have looking for a good trip during long May weekend, my choice fell on the Snota.
The plan was to reach Snota within a single day trip starting from and back to Vindølbu cabin (a cabin I have reach a day before).
The start from cabin at the 9am, using the road and further path to Vassdalsvatnet lake. Short break, wear the polar and jacket (stronger wind and a bit colder than in the valley), and continue trip by crawling on the rocks of the northern-west tail of Snota massive. The ridge was full of snow, so I wear the snowshoes and continues walk on the top. I have reach the summit at 6pm, took a few photos and finally take a rest after 9 hours of trekking. The panorama was vast, so it was easily to seen Sunndalen, all Trollheimen, fjord of Surnadalen as well as the Fongen massive which from more than 100km distance looks like a great white pyramid.
