Routes depart from different locations and do not have the same duration or type of terrain. The path via Juvasshytta involves glacier travel with a guide; the one from Spiterstulen has a different profile. Choose the modality before arranging transport and prepare in advance.
The hiking season is usually concentrated between June and September, depending on the route and conditions. Reserve the whole day and confirm the meeting point with the activity leader. Reaching the summit and the extent of the view depend on mountain conditions.
