Tent trip on Hardangervidda from Ustaoset

The tour starts from the train platform at Ustaoset, follow the railway Track east for about 300 meters.

Take the path to the left of the platform at the sign that says Tuva Tourist Cabin . Follow the path to the main road, continue along the road for about 500 meters and turn right onto Verpestølvegen. Here there are hiking signs for the different paths.

Follow Verpestølveien for a while and turn left onto the path towards Tuva Tourist Cabin , which is well signposted. Here begins a climb of approx. 300 metres in altitude for 2 kilometres. Many opportunities to fill up water bottles along the way. At the top of the climb the path splits to the left towards the mountain peak Ustetind (1376 m above sea level), and to the right towards Tuva. The area here is flat and easy to walk in with lots of great tenting options and a good gateway to hiking into the Hardangervidda plateau.

Have a good trip!
