Ski ascent in Hurrungane, Jotunheimen Vest

The course takes place in Norway and consists of a five-day ski touring trip in the national park Jotunheimen. Hurrungane is in the western part of Jotunheimen. This is Scandinavia's largest alpine area, with many peaks over 2000 meters and glaciers. Hurrungane provides great opportunities for fine off-piste skiing with steep chutes and long sweeping runs.

We start the week in Turtagrö, where we camp in tents. The week starts with avalanche search exercises and evaluation of snow conditions. The next few days we make a number of ascents, eg Fannråken 2068 m, Dyrhaugstind 2147 m and Store Ringstind 2124 m. During the tours we integrate various exercises, such as navigation, timing and glacier skiing techniques to master steep skiing. We may also do some easier climbing , practising the use of the crampons and ice axes.
