Trip to Myrhaugsnipa with Sogndal Turlag on Saturday, August 9

Myrhaugsnipa (1443 m.a.s.l.) is located in front of Flatbrehytta in Fjærland, see the red arrow in the picture. This hike is a collaboration between Sogndal Turlag and Norwegian Glacier Museum . Glasiologist, poet and professor Olav Orheim is on board as tour guide and expert. 

It's a long hike with a total of 1400 vertical meters and a small glacier crossing. But as a reward, you get an incredible view of the Supphelle Glacier and the Fjærlandsfjord. The hike is tough and is expected to take around 8 hours.

Meet at Almenningen in Sogndal at 08:30 and depart from the parking lot at Øygard at 09:15. Please contact the hiking team before Thursday, August 7 if you wish to borrow glacier equipment (crampons and ice axe).
