Hi Thor, Thank you for your recommendations. I think it makes sense to take the extra day from Åmotdalshytta instead of Reinheimen. We have planned our tour at a moderate pace such that we do not get in trouble. If contitions are good, we might as well do more than the planned routes. The last part to the summit of Storskrymten seems fairly steep to me - is that right? Wilfrid

Hei Linda, Thank you for your links to the timetables! Yes, we will bring all these things as we did on our other tours. In fact we did use the "real" compass one time to follow a straight line. We will also take a tent and very warm sleeping bags. We did melt snow to get water on our first tour in Hardangervidda. But it took a very long time with our Trangia stove. On our trip in Finland we could use water from streams. We would prefer to do that in the Dovrefjell as well. Are there places where the streams are open or should we be prepared to drill holes? I live in Germany, but come from Austria. Hilsen Wilfrid

Hallo, Sorry for writing in English, I know very little Norwegian. In the last years we have made two tours with backcountry skis and pulka in the Hardangervidda and in Finland, both on "Kvisteruter" and just with map and GPS. At Easter, we plan to make the following ski tour in the Dovrefjell: 1. day Kongsvoll-Reinheim (16km) 2. day Reinheim-Åmotdalshytta (10km) 3. day Åmotdalshytta-Loennechenbua (10km) 4. day Loennechenbua-Gammelsetra (12km) 5. day Gammelsetra-Dindalshytta (14km) 6. day Dindalshytta-Blokhus (5km) Extra day: Reinheim-Snøhetta-Reinheim To avoid the steep ascend from Kongsvoll, we think about starting in Grønbakken. Is this option possible in winter? Maybe we use our tent instead of staying at Loennechenbua. Is it possible to continue from Loennechenbua to Gammelsetra on the summer route with the help of GPS? The path seems to go through a steep valley, however. If the weather is bad, would it make sense to go to Engan from Loennechenbua? Is it easy to find access to water? Is avalanche danger an issue in the area? In the internet I found only two trains each day from Oppdal to Kongsvoll. Is there the possiblity to take a bus? I am grateful for every hint. Kind regards, Wilfrid
