    Directions

    Turn off Road 136 about 1.3 kilometers east of Bjorli, towards Rånå. Drive along Rånåvegen Road for about 3 kilometers and park your car by the old Rånå school at your right-hand side.

    If the car park is full, continue straight ahead for about 1.5 kilometers. Here you’ll find a large car park with a parking fee. Hike back along Rånåvegen Road until you reach the signposted trailhead to Rånåkollen by the Haugengardane farms.
