Information:

How to get there:
This peak is most easily climbed as part of a longer skitour, typically in the spring. Reasonably starting points in order to primarily reach this peak may be Erdalen (access from Stryn and Strynsvatnet) or Sotaseter (access from the Otta valley).
Route description:
The best starting point is the saddle between the better known Lodalskåpa and Tverrfjellet. From here, just follow the ridge to the summit. The summit ridge is fairly horizontal near the top.
Comments:
I finally climbed this peak as part of a more traditional 5 day ski trip around the lake Lovatnet. We set up camp at the base of the Tverrfjellet ridge after completing a day of skiing from the DNT hut Skålabu, located on the top of the well known Skåla mountain in Loen.
The climb was straightforward and we returned to camp just before a strong storm moved in.
