Gullfjellet

Gullfjellet (987 m)  is a popular destination for Backcountry and cross country skiing in the winter and for hiking. There are many different trails to follow on the mountain and most are marked by cairns. If you decide to hike here, be aware that the mountain is quite exposed and the weather can change very quickly. Large areas of the mountain are without mobile coverage. Bring a map and compass and learn how to use it. At the Redningshytten cabin, you will find an emergency radio telephone if you should need assistance. If an emergency occurs and you cannot leave the mountian without assistance, call 113.

• Another option is taking the bus to Osevatnet (only weekdays) and choose one of the trails from the parking.
