The view from the very top is magnificent in clear weather. You can see far into Sweden to the east, to Sølen and Rondane to the north, and to Lake Osensjøen to the west. Everyone who reaches the top can clip their "Peak Hike" booklet and receive a free diploma.
The Skihytta Restaurant marks the start and end points of the trail, and is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious lunch in the sun.
