Hike to Skorve

Skorve is a long, strenuous mountain traverse above Seljord. The route reaches an open summit plateau with extensive Telemark views and passes remains connected to a wartime aircraft accident; several steep ascents and descents make the total elevation gain much greater than the summit height suggests. The published route is 25.1 km one way, with 2,649 m of ascent; allow 10 hr. It is graded demanding and the recommended season is june–october. Use the signed ‘Skorve hike parking’ via Gulnesvegen; do not use the private Prestegardsvegen access.
