The 10 Peaks
Each of the 10 peaks offers something a little different, with hikes ranging in length and difficulty. Most are easy to find, but some routes leave the marked trails and cross open mountain terrain, so be sure to bring a map, compass, or GPS device.
Vesle Finsenuten– A Finse classic! Follow the marked trail to the summit and enjoy spectacular views in every direction. 2–3 hours round trip.
Sankt Pål – One of the area's most popular viewpoints, with a marked trail all the way to the top. 4–5 hours round trip.
Kvannjolnuten – A relatively easy hike to a peaceful summit with beautiful, wide-open mountain views. 2–3 hours round trip.
