Hitfjell
When: May – October
Distance: 3 – 7 km one way, depending on where you start
Just to the north of Pellestova lies the highpoint of many trips in the area, namely Hitfjell. Many of our guest take the trip to Hitfjell via Reinsfjell and Kriksfjell, and some choose to drive to Hita farm and start their hike from there.
Another alternative is to bike to Hita farm and from there follow the trail towards Hitfjell. The initial leg of the trail is fairly steep, but once up on the plateau the trail meanders through gently undulating terrain with a fairly easy trek to the summit.
Once at the top you are greeted with spectacular views over Øyerfjellet and, on clear days, beyond to the Rondane and Mountaineering ranges.

Dress for the weather
Always pack some extra clothes should the weather turn nasty.
The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable and change in the blink of an eye. We therefore implore all our guest top pack accordingly and ideally follow the three layer system: a base layer (t-shirt/thermal top), a mid layer (insulated jacket/fleece) and an outer layer (wind/water resistant shell).
Using three layers allows you to regulate temperature thus keeping you warm should the weather get cold or take one off to cool you down.
If you are planning to stop for lunch it is advisable to pack an insulated pad to sit on.
