Description

THIS TRAIL is in the shape of the number eight. One loop

takes you to Lake Nisser with its great bathing spot and then to

the top of a small hill. Enter your name in the visitors’ book for a

chance to win some great prizes from the Treungen sports club.

The other loop takes you into the woods surrounding the Årak

farms. There you can find both blueberries and lingonberries

as well as tracks left by elk, fox, roe deer and wood grouse.

The remains of two old smallholdings and ancient burial

mounds bear witness to times gone by. The top of the Åraksåsen

hill offers good views towards Treungen.

You can either do the full trip or parts of it. There are nice

resting places along the route.

Trail marking

Equipment and safety

Please follow these safety tips when you go hiking in Norway.

1. Be prepared
Be sufficiently experienced, fit and equipped for your intended trip.

2. Leave word of your route
Many cabins, hotels and other lodgings have tour notification boxes in which you may put a written notice of your planned route

3. Be weather-wise
You should always be alert to forecasts of bad weather, yet not rely completely on forecasts of good weather.

4. Be equipped for bad weather and frost
Always take a rucksack and proper mountain gear.

5. Learn from the locals
Local people can often tell you about avalanche trails, wind and snow conditions, and the safest routes.

6. Use a map and compass
Always have and know how to use a map and compass.

7. Do not go solo
If you venture out alone, there is nobody to give you first aid or notify a rescue service in an emergency.

8. Turn back in time - sensible retreat is no disgrace
If conditions deteriorate so much that you doubt you can attain your goal, turn around and return.

9. Conserve energy and build a snow shelter if necessary
The stronger the wind, the tougher the walking/skiing. Suit your speed to the weakest member of the party.
