Mountain hike over Filefjellseggen
The mountain hike where the view never ends.
The hike over Filefjellseggen takes you from Kyrkjestølen and over the viewpoints Støgonøse (1425 masl) and Skørsnøse (1453 masl) – with fantastic views in all directions along the entire trail.
Particularly impressive is the view down towards Otrøvatnet, which lies a few hundred meters below the ridge, and not least towards the major peaks in Jotunheimen. Hurrungane, in particular, looms impressively on the horizon. Make sure to allow enough time to enjoy the surroundings!
Filefjellseggen is a great and varied mountain hike for those who want a longer, yet manageable day trip in the high mountains.
The hike starts at Kyrkjestølen, where you follow a well-marked trail with a steady climb up towards Støgonøse (1425 masl). Along the way, the landscape opens up, and you get increasingly better views towards Jotunheimen.
From Støgonøse, the hike continues through gently rolling terrain over the ridge towards Skørsnøse (1453 masl) – the highest point of the trip. The ridge is wide and safe, with a good trail all the way. This is a beautiful section with many great spots to take breaks and enjoy the view.
From Skørsnøse, the trail descends towards Grihamarstølen, with pleasant sections on a clearly marked path. Here, it might be wise to have arranged for transport, or perhaps left a car – to then travel back to Kyrkjestølen.
If you stay with us at Filefjellstuene, we'll gladly drive you to the starting point of the hike – and then you can walk back to us at your own pace.
