Furufjell is an easy and popular low-altitude hike that is suitable for families, first-time hikers and those who want a great nature experience without spending all day. The hiking trail is located along Fiskestigen, midway between Åmot and Øyfjell, and offers a smooth and gentle climb all the way to the top.
The hike takes you through varied terrain, with marshland at the start and a firm path further up. At the summit, 955 meters above sea level, a great view of the surrounding area awaits – a perfect stop for a coffee break or a snack in the sun. Here you will also find a mailbox with a trimming book under the auspices of Vinje IL.
Furufjell is a hike that can be enjoyed all year round. In summer, good hiking boots are recommended, while snowshoes can be a good aid in winter, depending on snow conditions.
