“Store Vengetind is the highest mountain in Romsdalen and a truly impressive mountain. The mountain offers several classic routes, and among the most sought-after are Drømmediederet and the airy Vengetindtraversen – two of the greatest guided experiences you can have in the area.

Tour description Drømmediedret

A very beautiful and iconic climbing route to the highest mountain in the area!
The line follows a marked gradient with steady, technical climbing in solid rock. The route offers everything from fine jam moves to exposed pitches, and leads us elegantly up to the summit of Store Vengetind.
The “Dream Diedret” itself is no more than about 7 rope lengths, but it is a long approach in complex terrain that requires rope and pitched climbing. The difficulty level is set at 5-.
Overall, the trip is very varied and beautiful, with cleaving and jamming, airy egg and gentle climbing. Everything a climber could want.
The return from the top is long and demanding.

Time required is approximately 3 hours to start the Dream Stage, and a total of 8-10 hours.

Return takes place via the normal route to Vengetind.

Tour description Vengetind traverse

The Vengetind Traverse is one of the most elegant and airy ridge traverses in Romsdalen – an aesthetic line that connects Søre, Lille and Store Vengetind from the S and leads us all the way to the top of Store Vengetind, the highest mountain in the valley. This is a trip for those who want a true alpine experience with exposed clefts, narrow ridges and magnificent views throughout the day.

We start early, deep into Vengedalen, and follow the path up to the foot of the mountain at Olaskarvatnet. After a steady but steep climb, we enter the alpine terrain, where the traverse begins. It takes about 2-3 hours to get there.

From here we move over narrow ledges, short climbing sections and airy passages, always secured with ropes. The ridge offers varied and fun climbing in solid rock, and the view towards Trollveggen, Kvanndalstind, Romsdalshorn and the glaciers and the rest of the valley is completely unique.

The return journey follows the normal route down through gullies and steep slopes, with rappelling where conditions warrant. Then many meters of elevation gain await you back to Vengedalen.

Level and recommendations

The trip is suitable for those who are in good physical shape and enjoy steep and exposed terrain. You may need some previous experience with climbing or scrambling. It is also very important that you are comfortable with heights.
