Skisafari-Dynjefjellet

From this week on we start our annual skisafari period with lots of different tours around and even beyond Venabygdfjellet. Today we had a tour skiing over Dynjefjellet. After a cold start we warmed up end soon ended up in some deep snow and finally on a sunny ridge. We had an amazing view from the top and made our way down towards Svartippa, which descent was pretty amusing.

Right now at 8PM it looks nice and cold out there: -26Celsius, so we are ready to plan.

Good morning! 7 AM: -8 Celsius, light breeze from N, partly cloudy, good visibility. Ready for another tour in the mountains hoping to see some wildlife.

9PM update: Sorry for the long period of time without any pictures, but I try to make up for it today. We had an amazing tour behind Ramshogda with some spectacular views, including a massive herd of reindeer. I had a feeling that today was the day to look around that area, it worked. We managed to get through the valley, which was pretty heavy on our legs, but the reward was waiting for us: looking at about 5-600 reindeer.

Back on "blue"
