Route description
The starting point for the hike is Leikvoll stadium, located right by RV 70 at Ålvundeid in Sunndal municipality. The hike is categorized as a green trail, and the length is approximately 3 km one way. The elevation gain is 357 meters.
Use the underpass to get to the other side of the main road. The trail goes to the left, following the ski trail marked with a red arrow/sign. The hike starts on a tractor/gravel road. After a while, you’ll enter a spruce forest before returning to a gravel road. Follow this all the way to the top, and the last few meters to the summit of Karihaugen are clearly marked with a path.
The trail passes an idyllic lake, Skaudalsvatnet, where there is a shelter with grilling facilities. Perfect for a break or a swim stop in the summer.
