Vikahornet

Fjord

The trail at a glance

This lovely trail starts from Lake Dyrkornvatnet. The trail is short, but slightly steep. It is especially well suited for families with children. Although the trail is short, you will get a feeling of being on top of the world! Once you reach the top of Vikahornet, you will get a great view of the village of Dyrkorn, Storfjorden and the mountain ranges around. You will see the mountain farms of Skotet on the other side of the fjord. http://www.skotet.no.

Route description

Start walking from the car park up to the topmost cabin. The path starts on the left of the cabin. The trail is marked and follows a good path through the area of dense forest with a view of Lake Dyrkornvatnet. Once you reach the top of Mount Vikahornet, you can walk up to Mount Varden and possibly further to Stordal.
