88 big mountain adventures on the northwest coast of southern Norway
The mountains of Sunndal on the northwest coast of southern Norway are something special. Few places boast longer ski runs, with 1200-1800 meters of vertical descent being more the norm than the exception.
Here, you’ll encounter vast glaciers, north-facing bowls with cold snow, beautiful sunlit slopes, steep lines for extreme skiing, and everything in between. Finally, a book has arrived to guide you through it all.
Ski Touring in Sunndal includes local classics Kongskrona, Dronningkrona, Trolltinden, and Fløtatinden. But this book also introduces lesserknown areas such as the Kalkinn massif. It describes safe and family-friendly tours and steep descents that demand perfect conditions and advanced skills.
The book presents 88 tours across 43 mountains with detailed descriptions. All routes are marked on aerial photos and hiking maps at a 1:50,000 scale. The book is illustrated with pictures from most of the trips, many of which were contributed by professional ski photographers.
All routes in Ski Touring in Sunndal are categorized according to ATES (Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale), allowing you to easily find a tour suited to snow conditions, ambitions, and skills. Additionally, the book employs a tailored version of the Volo grading system, a three-part system that describes the difficulty in terms of skiing technique, mountain travel skills, and how exposed the route is.
