The 1,116 m high panoramic mountain Molden is said to have the most fascinating panorama on the Sognefjord. The hike there is considered the most beautiful in the Sogndal area. On a clear day, the view of the Lustrafjord and Ardalsfjord - both of which are rear arms of the Sognefjord - is simply gigantic and of breathtaking beauty! The ascent only becomes really interesting after the tree line, but from then on it gradually increases up to the summit. You shouldn't miss out on the summit circuit on the Molden to really enjoy the unique panorama. The most beautiful view is probably from the eastern side, where the mountain ridge drops over 1000 m vertically to the Sognefjord.

    Nicht zu unterschätzen. Mit Kinder wird es irgendwann zäh… Die Wanderung bis zum Gletscher ist mittlerweile fast 13 km hin und zurück. Oft sehr nass, daher wasserfeste Schuhe verwenden. Achtung, am letzten Stück ist mit Steinschlag zu rechnen.

    Für diese Tour benötigt man festes Schuhwerk, Trittsicherheit. Nichts für Untrainierte. Der erste und der letzte Anstieg hat alpinen Charakter. Die Strecke führt größtenteils über Geröll, Felsen, bedingt Familienfreundlich

    very exciting route, with great panorama all the way. the last 250m altitude shouldn't be underestimated (photo). Our knee-high dog was keeping up, but it was challenging for him to go up the cree. Also downwards later on. The very last part to the summit looked too steep and risky for us with a dog, but we still had a great panorama view from there. The first part of the route was definitely easy, but the part from the photo we would consider as "medium" to "hard medium" level.

    Wir sind mit unserer 7-jährigen Tochter die Tour gelaufen, allerdings sind wir bis zum Bauernhof Berge mit dem Auto gefahren. Der Besitzer bittet um einen kleinen Obolus für das Parken am Hof. Kurz vor dem Børestein muss man zwei markante, sehr steile und felsige Passagen bewältigen, wo man auf seine Kinder gut aufpassen sollte. Diese Abschnitte sind deutlich anspruchsvoller, als der gesamte vorherige Verlauf der Strecke. Da die Aussicht auch bis dahin bereits immer wieder wundervoll ist, lohnt sich die Wanderung auch, wenn man sich die letzten Meter nicht zutrauen sollte.

    Amazing hike, very challenging 4 hours (2 hours up, two hours down) - we had fairly decent weather that really cleared up at the summit and then suddenly rain came in for the entire descent. Definitely hard work but very worth it!
