On our day off we hiked up Nuolja mountain, which is the nearest . It was a brilliant day and we managed to climb to the very top at 1400 meters which was a great achievement (even though we moaned about the steepness quite a bit on the way). We even got to see snow, which was quite novel in the middle of July. Sarah tried to sled on it, which in hindsight probably wasn't the greatest idea in jeans...
The scenery from that height was even more spectacular than usual so I implore you to go and look at some of the many photos we took in the gallery. Hope we're not too tired out for tomorrow's early start!
