This Saturday morning we will take the train to Finse. From Finse we will walk around the west side of Hardangerjøkulen seeing a fascinating landscape and if lucky icebergs. After a hike of 15-20 km the plan is to camp on the top of Lauranuten and enjoy the view and hopefully a nice sunset. The next morning we will put the tents down and head back to Finse.
