Skjæringen Peak

Highlight • Summit

Skjæringen is often ascended along with the neighbouring Tvillingan (the Twins). The hike up to Aksla, the shoulder between the peaks, is relatively straightforward and the onward hike is fairly gradual, ascending to the 3,402-foot (1,037 m) summit.

Tvillingan Peaks

Highlight • Summit

In the heart of the Syv Søstre (Seven Sisters), Tvillingan's summits are fantastic objectives that, unlike some others in the range, don't require technical scrambling. This makes them, along with …

Unfortunately found no material for the hike. It shouldn't be that difficult with the twins, we were told. A family tour... Well, maybe a Norwegian family. I would not recommend bringing small children or dogs. It went almost exclusively over stone slabs with pieces of simple scrambling. So please use sturdy shoes, do not start when it is wet, ensure sure-footedness. The panorama at the top is breathtakingly beautiful. You can walk to both twins or turn left on the saddle to Skjaerdingen.
