From Emberland (on the west side) and Sætre (on the east side) the trip takes about 1/2 hour on a partly steep trail. From the north, starting from Stølen in Auklandshamn, the trip takes 1-2 hours through flatter forest and outfield terrain with some wet areas. The cabin Nipaståvo (from 2021) is always open for day visits.
