About

This family friendly round-trip starts at Vaset and follows Panoramavegen (“panoramic road”) via Nøsen to Flyin, where it turns and crosses the plain east of Lake Rensenn before slightly climbing via Storhaug and Krististølen back to Panoramavegen. It is an easy trip with the possibility for a picknic and a swim as well as a small hike.

Difficulty: Easy-Moderate.
Distance: approx. 25 km
Elevation gain: approx. 473 m

Directions: 
Park at the Joker or Intersport store at Vaset. Cycle on the Panoramavegen (gravel road) towards Hemsedal. You pass a toll station and continue on a gradual climb until you reach the top and the viewpoint near Krististølen. Enjoy a nice view that extends all the way to Jotunheimen's many peaks in clear weather. From there it’s mostly downhill to lake Rensenn where you’ll find a nice sandy, shallow beach. This is a beautiful spot to take a break and go swimming. In July and the beginning of August, the open summer mountain farm Lisjordestølen can be visited.

Continue along Panoramavegen past Nøsen until you see a sign towards Flyin, Krististølen and Vaset. Turn left and follow this road that takes you back to Krististølen. From there, continue downhill back to Vaset.

Tip: From the highest point between Lake Rensenn and Nøsen, make a hike to the viewpoint of Noseknippa.
