Tour description Length: approx. 6 km one way Duration: approx. 2.5–3 hrs. up Altitude difference: ca. 750 meters Suitable for children: from 8 yrs. From Beitostolen, drive to Beito and follow the signs towards Slettefjellvegen. Drive past the toll station (NOK 50 in 2010), continue past Fleinsendin and turn left at the intersection. Parking area on the left side of the road, near Mugnestolen, approx. 3.5 km from the toll station. The path starts on the opposite side of the road and is marked with cairns and white V’s. It leads gently uphill to Mugnebottjernet (pond) and then climbs steeper up into a col. From here you have two options. The steeper and more demanding route (recommended uphill only) turns right, while the main route, which is still steep but less demanding, continues straight ahead for another 300 meters and then turns to the right and uphill, too. The last bit leads through rocky terrain to the summit with a stunning, highly rewarding view towards Jotunheimen and Valdres. Equipment Standard clothing for high mountain walks: solid hiking boots, wind- and waterproof outer layer, warm sweater, hat, mittens, daypack. No special equipment required. Tip: Stay overnight at Gronolen Fjellgard and take a bike to the trail head. This way you get a varied full day tour.

Along the stream Leineane at Vennis you find six watermills. At the most, 13 mills were found at the Leineane, but most of them were taken by the great flood in 1860. Documents from 1729 show that at back then each farm with a waterfall used to have its own mill and that there were as many as 79 mills in Vang at that time.

TYPE: Easy-Moderate 2 km of climbing, but the rest is easy. DESCRIPTION: This is a nice family route, althoug the first two km from the foot of Stettefjellveien is a challenging climb from 700 - 900 meters. Turn rigth towards oygardsstolen and continue on a flat mountain road for 4 km. There are several opportunities for hiking in this area, and at the end of the road you will find an information board. If you only wish to cycle, you may turn around and follow the same road back to where you started. An alternative route is to turn right after 3 km at Torpegardstolane and follow the mountain road down until you meet the main road. However, be aware that this road is quite steep and you have to keep a slow speed when you reach the intersection.
