Ski tour to Skørsnøse

From the parking area, you walk through gently rolling and forested terrain, heading northwest along the summer trail. As you gain elevation, the route turns west, then south towards the mountain peak. Around 1100 meters above sea level on the north side, you will be in an avalanche run-out zone, and between approximately 1150 and 1200 meters above sea level, you must navigate precisely to stay below 30 degrees. Here, it is important to choose the gentlest line and assess the conditions.

Further on, you follow ridges and open flanks up towards the summit. The terrain is clear, but requires active route choices along the way.

The summit at 1453 meters above sea level offers wide views over Filefjell and Tyin, as well as the surrounding mountain areas, with good visibility towards Jotunheimen on clear days.

The descent normally follows the same route as the ascent, offering excellent skiing in open terrain. 

Skørsnøse offers a relatively short, but complete ski touring experience, with a distinct high-mountain character and several possibilities for adaptation along the way. The trip is more demanding than, for example, Finndalshornet, and is best suited for those with some experience in route selection and terrain assessment.

Alternative route: Start from the parking area at the entrance to Oppdalsstølen, and walk up Bjørddalen until it flattens out. Turn southwest towards Skørsnøse when you pass the hill to the left in the valley and cross the river. Then head directly southwest towards the summit. Keep to the gentlest line towards the ridge where you meet the summer trail and the track from Grihamarstølen. This trip is somewhat longer than from Grihamarstølen, but offers longer sustained skiing.

Ski in / Ski out:
For guests at Filefjellstuene, it is possible to start the trip directly from the doorstep, via Grihamarstølen.
