Infos about skitour in middle Norway

[_Uli]

Sorry for asking in English. Hope you'll accept anyway

Well, in april we will do several days of skitouring in Sweden (starting from Handöl - Storsnasen, Helags, Sylarna). After that, we thought to transfer in Norway. Looking at the maps, seemed to us a good idea to do Solen (southwest of Femund). Is that a good idea? Are there some links about huts or similar where to stay.

Moreover, since after that we will have still 2 - 3 other days, what would be a good idea to do some ski touring in proximity. If possible, i'd be very grateful for any link.

We're a group of 5 experienced ski randonneurs (3 telemark, 2 alpine touring stile), so, what we're looking for is good (requiring) skiing not so the classical nordic stile backcountry touring. (Just to give you an idea what about, just a link to a traverse we did last winter in april http://www.telemarktalk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=35418)

Thanks a lot in advance,

Uli

Hello there!

Looked through your linked trip report and that was some cool stuff! If you want mountains like that I would suggest you travel more west, most web pages that I know of, are in Norwegian I'm afraid.

You could check out http://www.turistforeningen.no/english/ for more information on huts all over the country.

Hi,

thanks a lot so far.

I know the Jämtland pretty well, so i have a general idea about the landscape (skied in Meraker lift and backcountry as well). And what we are looking for is something different to what we can in our "backyard" I like the big spaces, for example Storulvan to Sylarna. (I skied Lyngen Alps and Narvik several years ago and some of us has been to Sunnmoere, so the west is not that unknown). The general idea was this:

- Storsnasen and other peaks of Snasahogarna 1 day (from Handöl or the road to Storulvan)

- Traverse from Storulvan via Sylarna and Helags to Ljungdalen (or Ramundberget) 2 - 3 days

But for the rest, having still 4 days plus 1 for the passage with ferryboat and then home to Valais, i don't have that precise ideas and i thought we could take the road to Meraker and then more south a do then there some skitouring. By that, looking at the maps and checking a bit the internet (www.sylarna.net, toppomania, etojm.com) was born the idea of Sölen. And may be some other mountains around there

Anyaway, don't be afraid to point me to norvegian sites , i do understand a little bit (at least from reading)

Cheers,

Uli
