Massiv


Massiv is a long distance trail that goes through four massive mountain areas in Norway, hence the name, Massiv and iv. The trail begins at Sota Sæter in Breheimen and ends at Haukeliseter on Hardangervidda. It is about 350km long and the mountain areas that it passes through are Breheimen, Jotunheimen, Skarvheimen and Hardangervidda.

In the summer of 2016 I traveled to Haukelister to hike the first part of Massiv through Hardangervidda, to Finse. I went back to Finse in the summer of 2017 to continue further on Massiv. And finally I completed the trail in the summer of 2018, walking from where I left off at Sognefjellshytta to Sota Sæter.

  1. I am wondering how to arrange transportation from the trail back to Oslo. Is there any transportation (bus, train, etc) or will I need to hire a driver? Thanks

    1. Hi!

      You can find information about public transportation to and from Sota Sæter at their website here: https://sotaseter.dnt.no/engelsk/

      For Haukeliseter, the Haukeliekspressen bus can be used to travel from and to Oslo: https://www.nor-way.no/ruter/haukeliekspressen/

      Best regards,
      Tarjei
