Molden Up, Race

Do you like hills? Then Molden is up for you with maximum heart rate from Marifjøra and up on Luster's most beautiful mountain peak - Molden!

MOLDEN UP from 0 - 1116 masl at 7 km. The start of the uphill race Molden Opp takes place outside Tørvis Hotel in Marifjøra by Lustrafjordan. Measurements are at Molden 1116 masl. The trail has no slopes and is particularly varied both in terms of running surface and slope percentage.

After about 1.5 km (and 110 altitude meters) on a wide hiking trail / tractor road / gravel road, the trail goes on a path up in the forest with large variations in slope percentage between 5 and 25 up to the steel area at Svolsete 775 masl.

From Svolsete and up to the finish, the trail runs in easy mountain terrain, but with some steep bends that only the very best can run up. Up towards the top there is a great view southwest towards Hafslo, northwest towards Gaupne, Jostedalen, Jostedalsbreen and northeast towards Lustrafjorden, Skjolden, Fanaråken and Hurrungane in Jotunheimen.
