DAY 2 We start of with a shorter hike. Although short, we visit some of the finest peaks around Sogndal with beautiful descents.

DAY 3 We plan for a longer trip to a peak that provides beautiful view of the Sognefjord. The descent will be chosen based on the current snow conditions and stability. We might be able to ski all the way down to the fjord and if the conditions are perfect, we might be able to enjoy 1400 vertical meters of skiing!
