Romsdalseggen was a fantastic and rewarding hike with spectacular views. What sets Romsdalseggen apart from other hikes is that you get a fantastic view throughout most of the hike since you walk on the ridgeline for quite a long time. I would definitely reccommend this hike since it gives quite a unique experince with having to climb some of the steepest parts and also the views are the best i've seen in Norway. It is, however, worth it to note that for those who are not up to doing the whole hike it is also possible to climb the first 3-4 km where you get a fantastic view and return after to the parking in Vinjedalen. It is also possible to do the opposite - hike the path leading to Rampestreken and continue on but note that it is a much steeper path. The weather conditions should be considered. An overall extremely rewarding hike but bear in mind that it is a challenging one (ca 7-8 h if you stop often for pictures as we did) with a very steep descend which can cause your legs to tremble. The descend felt quite long too.

The Rauma Railway running between Andalsnes and Dombas is known as one of Norway’s wildest and most beautiful train journeys. The tour takes you through the beautiful Romsdalen to famous natural attractions like the Trollveggen cliff face and the Kylling bridge. The whole trip takes 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I wasn’t originally going to climb up to this viewpoint as it wasn’t the best weather, however the clouds started to clear so I decided to head up and it turned out to be a great idea. It must be said that the hike up was not easy. I’m a young relatively fit male and I found the hike physically draining. It took me one hour to make it up to the viewpoint and I was not going slowly. The path was easy to follow but deceptively steep. Don’t let this put you off though as it was so worth it when you reach the top. There are great views along the way too so you can always turn back if the going gets too hard. Allow 2.5-4 hours to compete the hike to the viewpoint, take photos and get back. Watch the roots when it’s wet as they are super slippery
