Rørsethornet

Molde

The trail at a glance

This hike goes through some amazing landscape where the ocean meets the mountains. It is one of the most spectacular hikes in the area. The fact that the mountain was visited by the “71˚ nord” (“71 Degrees North”) show speaks for itself.

Route description

The trail starts from the car par by the national road between Rørset and Rakvåg. Cross the road and follow the clear path, stairs and the way marks up the west ridge towards the top of Rørsethornet (about 659 m a.s.l.). The stairs are built along the entire way until you come up to the top ridge. From here, follow a nice and clear path up to the top. The path primarily follows the ridge/edge of the mountain towards the top offering open landscape along the way.
