Hurrungane

James Baxter's guidebook to Walks, Scrambles, Climbs and Ski Tours in Scandinavia's most spectacular mountains.


Click here to see the book cover



The Hurrungane are the most spectacular mountains in Norway. James Baxter's book is a long-awaited English guidebook to these mountains. With detailed route descriptions, alternatives and notes on winter (ski) ascents it is the definitive book to these mountains. Anyone planning a trip to these mountains west of Jotunheimen should not be without a copy!

Each route description is illustrated with a map and superb colour photographs. The routes are graded and give guidance on whether glacier equipment is needed, whether it is feasible in bad weather and if a winter ski ascent is practicable.

The book also gives some good information on other aspects of the Norwegian mountains: from a detailed section on flora and fauna, to an Appendix listing all the Scandinavian 2000m peaks.
