A 10 hours roundtrip Turtagrø-Lavskar-Turtagrø. There is a 45-50 degrees steep climb to the Lavskar col and a 45 degrees descent onto the glacier below. The climb feels a bit exposed and ideally you should bring ropes.

Route: Skin up the Skagadals valley to "Hytta på Bandet", then cross the glacier towards the Lavskar ridge and climb up the 200-250m couloir/ridge to Lavskar. Ski down to the Stølsmaradalsbreen via a 45 degrees steep wall/ridge. Skin and ski back to Turtagrø via Riingsdalen.

Looking down the "Lavskar couloir". The top is exposed and you should bring a rope.
