Great ski touring in an easy terrain and with a gentle ascent. For little efforts you receive a fantastic view on the ridge all the way to the top. The view from the top is breathtaking.
Drive to Måndalen, and park at Skare, where the toll road to Skarsetra starts. Follow the tracks towards Skarsetra. Cross the river, and head southwards in the direction of the large east-facing ridge to the top of Kjøsen.
It gets a little steep in the final part to the top. In good snow conditions it is possible to ski down the north side back to the starting point via the road from Månvassetra. The steepest part is below the tree line.
From the top of Kjøsen you can also choose to ski down the ridge, the same way you ascended. The steepest slopes just below the summit can be dangerous and avalanche prone. If you are uncertain about the conditions it is best to follow the ridge back the same way.
