[23-3] From Nedalshytta there are many day hike choices, both long and demanding to peaks in the Syl massif and to closer hike destinations in the valley. [23-4] The easy access and proximity to lakes in many directions make the terrain around Nedalshytta well suited for hikes with children. [23-5] Within a radius of a couple of kilometers there are several "good natured" hike destinations. [23-6] Come here in the month of August, and you can return home with both cloudberries and char in your pack. [23-7]
[23-8] 1. Evening tour to Neklumpen, 1014 m [23-9] A jaunt to the "nearby mountains" right behind the lodge is within range for most. [23-10] The tour is an easy walk for children, and can be a fine evening tour that includes a sunset and a fine vista towards Nesjøen, Nordskardsfjellet and not least up to the Syl massif. [23-11] In vantage points, the tour yields much for modest effort. [23-12] Length about 4 km round trip. [23-13]
[23-14] 2. Tour to the waterfall in Ekorråa/Ikornåa [23-15] The waterfall is worth a visit, particularly when the water flow is large. [23-16] Follow the trail towards Ekorrdörren (Sylstationen) about 500 m before you turn off to the right across to the river. [23-17] The height of the waterfall is about 15 meters. [23-18] At its foot there's a pool that can be used for bathing. [23-19] It's about 2 meters at the deepest, but there's no surrounding shore, so children should be 8 - 10 years old to use it. [23-20]
[23-21] 3. Pool tour to Nordskardsfjellet [23-22] This is a fine family tour. [23-23] It starts from Sylsjøveien and has a fine ingress of a couple of kilometers along Geitbekken before you come to the first of a series of shallow, fine pools in the stream. [23-24] The outing is most suitable for a warm summer day. [23-25] The water comes from melting snowfields under the summit and it's easy walking on the slopes of naked rock on both sides. [23-26]
[23-27] Fishing trips [23-28] Children younger than 16 years can fish without buying a fishing license. [23-29] Fishing in Nesjøen is to be recommended. [23-30] Rod fishing from land is permitted. [23-31] After 15 August people in general are allowed to use nets to exploit the opportunity for food supply. [23-32] If you wish to use a boat, you can rent one from Nesjøen Båtutleie that's located about 2 km south of the lodge. [23-33] Otherwise, there are many small lakes inwards from the lodge towards Sylsjøn. [23-34]
[23-35] Short tours for cloudberries [23-36] From the first half of August, cloudberries are ripe and there can be many of them in Nedalen. [23-37] The terrain along Nesjøen may yield a lot, because of its naturally favorable conditions, whether you pick to eat, put in buckets or both. [23-38]
[23-39] Winter: [23-40] Nedalshytta is hard to get to in winter, so it's not so suitable for activities or tour weekends with children. [23-41] But here too there are fine choices of activities and short tours. [23-42] The terrain around the lodge, in towards Sylsjøen, and up the ravine towards Skardøra are sheltered, varied and thrilling, both for tours and ski hill games. [23-43] Here there also are sheltered places for resting and bonfires. [23-44]
[23-45] Maps: [23-46] Hiking and skiing map 1:100,000 Sylene or 1:50,000 Stugusjø and possibly Esandsjøen. [23-47]
