Litlefjellet Hike

Located near Åndalsnes in the Romsdalen Valley in Norway, Litlefjellet (790 m) is a short hike offering exceptional panoramic views for minimal effort. Imagine: in just 20 to 30 minutes, you can reach a breathtaking natural viewpoint. There, a magnificent panorama unfolds, including the legendary Troll's Wall (Trollveggen) – the highest vertical rock face in Europe, rising 1,100 meters above its base. You can also admire the iconic and impressive silhouette of the Romsdalshornet (1,550 m) and follow the sparkling meanders of the Rauma River below with your gaze.

This hike is an ideal introduction to the majestic landscapes of Romsdal and a more accessible alternative to the famous Romsdalseggen trail.

Remarks

Best time of year to hike: From mid-June to mid-October, when the access road (toll of NOK 100 in 2025) to the parking lot is cleared of snow. Check the road conditions before your visit, especially at the beginning or end of the season.

Difficulties of the hike

The route follows a good hiking trail that is very short but slightly uneven. A metal chain makes it easier to climb a rocky outcrop, though it does not present any real technical difficulty.

Although there are no markings, they are unnecessary: the starting point is clearly signposted and the trail is straightforward and obvious the entire way to Litlefjellet.
