Hiking the Lendbreen Trail

[Eeemer]

Hello everyone,

I am seeking information about hiking the Lendbreen Trail. Mostly curious if anyone's done it, where to find a map of the area and suitability for solo backpacking. Looks like the mountain pass would be the most difficult, but from photos it looks pretty do-able!

 

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the trail, but here's a map of the area:  https://en.kartbutikken.no/catalog/product/view/sku/10064

The hike itself is totally doable if you have good mountain experience. I have not hiked the whole trail, but I have been up at the pass a few times (to the Lendbreen ice patch). You should know that it is not marked, so you need skills with the map. There are trails in both ends, but not much above the tree line. The prehistoric cairns that have been registered are long between and many of them have fallen down and need a trained eye to spot, so you can not at all rely on them to find the way. You will most likely not meet another person, so be well prepared. 

You should contact Norsk fjellsenter in Lom.
