Svartegga (1,937 metres above sea level) lies just south of Reindalseter, and the mountain is formed by three sharp ridges. This route follows the north-eastern ridge, and is rated expert (black) accordingly. The route is 11.8 kilometres, with 1,222 metres of ascent in total, and you should normally allow between four and twelve hours. It's best done in summer and autumn.

From Reindalseter you follow the path towards Danskehytta, up to Daurmålshaugen (1,308 metres). From here you head south-east, up to Svarteggvatnet lake, which you pass on the left-hand side. From there up to the summit you can either walk the scree or follow the ridge. Both options involve steep, loose ground. The return to Reindalseter can also be routed along the ridge west of the glacier. This stretch includes sections of scrambling and exposed ridge walking.

Scrambling and exposed ridge walking call for experience with this kind of terrain, along with sturdy footwear and ideally a helmet. If you're unsure of your own abilities, it may be a good idea to go with experienced companions or a local guide.
