Summit hike to Onglanuten

Summit hike to Onglanuten

The summit hike to Onglanuten is a great experience for the whole family. On the way down, you can stop by Perskårfossen for a refreshing shower!

‍

You park your car at Neiken, which is the parking lot by the road when you come over the plateau after the ascent towards Gullingenfjellet, or at the parking lot just off the turn-off towards Gullingen Tourist Centre. From here, you follow the road up towards Stavastolen, before turning onto the trail that takes you on a round trip around Skute. When you are north of Svartavatnet, take the easiest route up to the summit of Onglanuten. On the way back, you take the path down right by Perskårsfossen.

You can also go up by Perskårsfossen if you want a shorter trip, but this is more demanding.
