Rasletinden 27.-29.5. 2021

Catching the last train for ski touring this year. Valdresflye at the east of Jotunheimen.

A late afternoon quickie.

FIrst view around.

Higher adventures are waiting for tomorrow.

Skiing down to Leirungsdalen.

The evening above the aforementioned valley.

From left to right: Rasletinden (tomorrow's goal), Leirungskampen (2030 m), Kvitskardtinden (2193 m), Langedalstinden (2206 m), Mesmogtinden (2264 m)

Yesterday's tracks.

Where I skied downhill.

Through Steindalen.

Lemmings are already running on snow.

Flat terrain suitable for solo trip.

The steepest part of the trip.

Almonst on the ridge.

Tjønnholstinden (2331 m) is the highest in the middle.

A very flat ridge.

Gjendesheim and Sjodalen, starting point of the trip to Besseggen last August.

Slowly but surely gaining elevation. View of the today's goal opens up.

Gentle approach continues under a nice example of Cirrus vertebratus cloud.

The "peak" of Rasletinden (2105 m)

It was quite chilly due to the wind, especially because I forgot gloves. No panic, somebody else forgot trousers.

Panorama towards the west.

And towards the north.

Mugna (2159 m) and Munken flat mountain in front of Vestre Leirungstinden (2250 m), Knutsholstinden (2342 m), Austre Leirungstinden (2288 m) and Søre Skarvflytinden (2250 m)

Bitihorn (1607 m)

Kiter presence indicates strong wind.

And time to return.

Arctic violet (Pulsatilla vernalis) in full blossoms this time.

Jotunheimen from Heggefjorden Lake on a way back home.
