From the summit of Ranastongji, there is a fantastic view over Jotunheimen, Hurrungane and the Jostedal glacier. Just behind the summit is a very special canyon that has a shear drop of approx. 600 m. Ranastongji is one of the 20 mountain summits in Hemsedal’s hiking programme, “Top 20 summits”. Distance: 12 km Duration: 6 hrs. Degree of difficulty: Requires endurance

Ranastøngji is very beautiful. The Road to get there is a bit tricky, but it’s totally worth the trouble. There is a toll road of 50kr to get there, but it’s very secluded and on the 2x6,5km walk, we met 8-10 people. The first 4km of the hike is quite easy with good paths along beautiful waterfalls. The last 2,5km is quite tricky with a loose stones everywhere. We did the trip in 6hrs, 4 active hours and 2 hours for breaks. The marking is okay in good weather, but i would not recommend this hike in foggy weather. Visibility needs to be quite good - both in order to find way, but also in order to get the full experience. You need to cross a river, this was no trouble on a sunny day in August, but I imagine it would be a bit tricky during the flom in the spring season.

Storhovda is a very nice hike with a beautiful view towards Skogshorn mountain and Lykkja. Suitable for children and adults. The hike goes through the woods and mainly on a path. The hike is well marked with signs and blue dots on trees and stones. This is an easy hike - approx 240 m vertical and 1,5 km one way. The trip can also be combined with Gjeiteberget and Gravsetasen rundt path. How to get there by car: From the town centre of Hemsedal, drive 4 km to Ulsak (direction Gol) and take to the left to Lykkja.
