It was only 3 weeks since last time I ascended Mount Sulafjellet with my son, and yet we decided to go there again, as we regard this trip as a good workout. My youngest daughter vaarsolholm (Vår Solholm) also came along with us on this occasion. As previously, we walked the forest road up to Rollonhytta Cabin, and from there we just followed the mountain path that continues up to the summit of the mountain. Snow was less abundant now, compared to what it was three weeks ago; hence the cairns that mark the trail were easy to spot, and it was, therefore, much easier to follow the trail up to the summit of the mountain. We just shot a few pictures while at the top of the mountain, and then went back down to our car at Mauseid parking lot.
