After staying for some days at Skarvereiret, grounded by the weather, we continued our journey over Hallingskarvet. Our next camp is at a new cool cabin, Lordehytta (Lords hut), built in 1880 by the eccentric lord Garvagh. It was originally built as a hunting cabin and was the finest one amongst the other cabins that … Continue reading From one cool cabin to another
Before we head directly to Songnefjorden, where we have our kayaks are stored, we are going to cross Hallingskarvet, one of Europe’s largest mountain plateaus. We are now staying at a cabin called Skarvereiret (Translated it would mean the Cormorants nest), which is placed on top of a 150 meter high cliff, overlooking Hardangervidda and … Continue reading Staying at Norway’s coolest cabin
We have now crossed Hardangervidda national park and the last couple of days have been really great. The weather has been nice and we experienced a weather phenomenon called halo.

And what better way … Continue reading Ice fishing the comfy way

Living outdoors for long periods makes one appreciate a good 3 course dinner with first class wine. Having the possibility to visit the sauna and also take a hot outdoor bath is just icing on the cake.

We have been battling 25-30 m/s winds and snow surfaces that goes from soft and wet to stone hard ice. But it is a fun and challenging … Continue reading Arrived at Haukeliseter
