Sætrenibba
Take on the rewarding climb of the Sætrenibba hike (859 m) in the heart of the Sunnmøre Alps in Norway's Møre og Romsdal region. The route follows a section of the historic old postal road and climbs to a summit that offers stunning views of the surrounding fjords, including the renowned Geirangerfjord, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Remarks
Best time of year to hike: From June to October, on average. See the Norway FAQ for more details.
Difficulties of the hike
More than 75% of the climb is on the old postal road, Den Trondhjemske Postveg. This wide, well-marked trail gently winds uphill to the remains of the Ljøsætra mountain pasture.
The final 100 meters of elevation gain are on a mountain trail, clearly indicated by a sign at the intersection with the postal road.
