    The hike to the top of Børesteinen grants you one of the best views possible of the Luster fjord and village. Enjoy as vistas of the green hillsides and pristine fjord spread out before you as you reach the top of the peak.

    This hike is demanding as the trail travels steeply uphill all the way, reaching an elevation of almost 1,000 meters above sea level. Conditions are breezy and unprotected at the top, so do not leave children unattended.

    Døsen Farm bed and breakfast is situated along Road 55, about 1 kilometer south of Luster. This traditional farm is now turned into a modern bed and breakfast, offering apartment, hotel, and glamping (glamorous camping) accommodation. Enjoy a locally sourced breakfast and stunning fjord views.

    Another option is Turtagrø Hotel, which is located alongside Road 55, about 30 kilometers northeast of Fortun. It dates back to the 1880s but was recently renovated. They serve breakfast, lunch, and three-course dinners. Campsite rental is also available, which includes access to showers, toilets, and a common area. The lodge is open between Easter and mid-September.

    Roadbook

    The trail starts by the Luster care center and heads up via the “old road” to the mountain farm Berge. From there, the trail continues uphill, reaching almost 1,000 meters above sea level. The climb to the peak is demanding because of the considerable elevation gain, but the path is easy to follow the entire way. You might come across snowy sections in the east-facing hillsides up until the middle of June.

    The final stretch towards the peak is exposed, so tread carefully. Once at the top, stunning fjord views await.

    Descend along the same trail.
