Frudalshesten is for experienced skiers and found in Sogndalsdalen together with several other well known ski touring peaks.

Make sure you have a good understanding of snow conditions before you consider Frudalshesten as your next journey.

The mountain offers lots of steep descents, but there are also possibilities to get down for the less experienced skier.
