After app. 1 km,make a right turn towards Hallingdal Folkehøgskule. Then take the first road to the left and go up the Skaraåsvegen (toll bar, bring cash). Just before you reach the top, there is a parking area.

On foot: west from the tourist office. Footpath along Rv 52. Go straight at the first crossroads and follow the signs towards Hallingdal Folkehøgskule. After app. 500 m, turn right to Golbergsgutu. After another 500 m, follow the marked trail up and past Hallingdal Folkehøgskule. From here, the trail is marked Skaraåsen.

The hike takes just over three hours including a break for lunch. Follow the marked trail towards Habbeset. Follow the trail past the the top of the ski lift and further in on Skaraåsen. The trail is well marked, and the terrain is easy. You will pass the summer farm Feten. At Habbeset there is a great view of Hemsedal. Return to Feten. Here you can follow a different trail past Fagerdalen. After a while this trail links up with the first one. Follow this back down.
