Trysilfjellet 1132 – from Fageråsen

Walk to the highest point of Trysilfjellet from Fageråsen on a varied summit hike with great views as your reward. The route follows a trail from Høyfjellssenteret, with occasional rocky sections and a boulder field on the final stretch up towards Brannvakthytta at 1132 metres above sea level.

The hike to the summit of Trysilfjellet from Fageråsen is a good option if you want an easier summit route to the mountain’s highest point. The route from the north side is the gentlest option to the summit, but still includes elevation gain, rocky sections and great views along the way.

From Fageråsen to the summit

The hike starts at Høyfjellssenteret in Fageråsen and follows a trail through the mountain area. The surface varies, and some sections are rocky. The final stretch towards the summit crosses a boulder field, so good hiking shoes or mountain boots are recommended.

Brannvakthytta and the view from 1132 m.a.s.l.

At the top, you reach Brannvakthytta, located close to the cairn that marks the highest point of Trysilfjellet, 1132 metres above sea level. The cabin is a well-known hiking destination in Trysil and stands on the same site as the old fire lookout cabin, which was originally used to spot forest fires in the large woodland areas around the mountain.

From the summit, you get wide views in every direction. On clear days, you can see towards Rondane and Sølen to the north, Osensjøen to the west and far into Sweden to the east. This makes the hike a great choice both if you want to reach the highest point of Trysilfjellet and if you want a mountain hike with big views.

A gentler summit hike

The route from Fageråsen is the gentlest option to the highest point of Trysilfjellet, compared with the shorter and steeper hike Trysilfjellet 1132 from Skihytta. The hike still has more than 300 metres of elevation gain and rocky terrain towards the summit, so allow enough time and choose footwear suitable for uneven ground.
